PC build for business apps and light photo/video editing

Hi Everyone,

This is my first build. I am interested in building a PC for business use and would love some suggestions.
I will do very light video editing (not a pro at all) and same with photo editing with Photoshop or similar. Will run Microsoft office suite, Adobe apps, etc.
Nothing too fancy. I don't game but I do want a computer that runs fast and I tend to have many open applications at the same time. I purchased an Apple mac mini and have had nothing but problems with the speed. I've come to learn that I prefer a PC for work and Apple products for mobility. So I am going to try and build a PC on my own.
Suggestions would be great. This is what was built for me on the website.
Budget under 2k.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Chris,
The above build is excellent and will have no trouble whatsoever in running business, video editing and photo editing workloads. In fact, you could easily play AAA Games at high FPS or even use 3D Modeling / Rendering Apps on it, it is that powerful.

One thing you COULD change if you wanted to: Adobe Apps play well with Nvidia GPUs, especially Premier Pro for example has some great speedups on Nvidia, so you might want to swap the RX 5700XT GPU with something like a RTX 2060 Super or RTX 2070 Super.

Apart from that, everything looks great!
