Potential New Build - Gaming and Video

It's been a while since I built a PC, and I'm looking to build one that's good for 4K gaming and can also handle some video editing and similar work. I can spend up to $2500 (US) but don't want to waste money. I don't plan to overclock, but might try it at some point.

I have a monitor already and don't need to buy software.

Here's what I've assembled so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xHFtXP

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
Mostly I want to be sure that my build has no potential problems or shortcomings that someone with more expertise will recognize.

I'm also curious if there's anything (e.g., memory, cooling) that I should consider upgrading (or downgrading).
 
If it were up to me I would pick up a different power supply. Most EVGA, Corsair, Seasonic gold rated units come with a 10 year warranty rather than the 5 year on that Thermaltake.
Maybe some 3600MHz C16 or C17 memory.
I think everything will fit in the case you selected, but maybe check to make sure the CPU cooler is not too high and that the graphics card isn't too long. Consider a Meshify S2 for some more room.
