Hey,
I used the computer builder thing on this website and specified video editing. I am a film major in college. I also enjoy gaming. Will this build be good for those things?

That's a decent build if you can get the parts for that price, but I would try finding a better GPU. I'd recommend going for an Intel Core i5 10600K and a Z490 motherboard (from here - https://www.cgdirector.com/best-z490-motherboards-intel-10th-gen-cpus/), and trying to find an RTX 3060 graphics card at the $400~ price point.
