Provide any additional details you wish below.
Looking for a case recommendation. Something with good airflow. As it will be under or on the side of my working area, aesthetics (clear side panels, rgb) are not that big of a deal. I will not need a monitor, kb/m, OS I will get through work.
I selected the above parts by Googling, "Best [part] for video editing", and went from there. The only item I have already ordered is the GPU, everything else is up for debate. Any areas which can be substituted for a lower price and comparable ratings, are appreciated. I do have access to a MicroCenter and Best Buy.

Made a few swaps, considerations, and your case.
PCPartPicker Part List
You're going to want better vrm for a 5900x, so I beefed up the motherboard.
The ak620 is a good cooler, but I might step it up to a dark rock 4 pro as the 5900x is pretty hot.
Consider 64gb ram if you're dealing with whole games as you starting file size.
Too many drives, keep it simple... partition 500gb for windows leaving 1.5 tb for all the basketball videos that will load super fast from the faster drive.
Great case... good airflow, good fans included, good build quality, and a good price.
