Gigabyte X570 Gaming-X
AMD Ryzen 3700X
Sapphire Pulse 5700XT
Crucial Vengeance LPX 3200mhz
Seasonic Focus Gold FM 650w
Tecware Vega L
Corsair H100i Pro

Total Price: $1930

Will be using existing SSD & HDD

Rig is mostly for 1080p/144hz gaming + video editing/3d rendering, will try to do some light overclocking for the CPU & Ram. Any thoughts on whether I can improve it in any way while still keeping it under 2k?

You may want to see if you can squeeze a 2070 Super into that budget.

If you getting that ram locally, you could get 3600mhz cl16 ram for the same price from newegg.

Would the Asus TUF Gaming X570 Plus (Wifi) be a better choice? It's my next choice for mobo since it cost only slightly more than the Gaming-X

I'm getting all the parts from one location, price includes assembly and delivery.

The Cheapest 2070 Super is like $150 more than the 5700xt with maybe 5-10% performance increase. In some games the 5700xt even outperforms the 2070S, is it really worth it?

He only do 1080p game and video edit, I think 5700xt is already overkill. No need go for 2070s

Tbh I don't think it's overkill. Even at 1080p, hitting 144fps on most games is hard. I would get the 2080ti if I have the money but settled for 5700xt due to budget constraints. Again, I don't think the 2070S is worth the extra money for that small performance boost over the 5700xt
