I would prefer an AMD processor to an Intel one.
 
I wouldn't get LHR card. You never know if mining won't become extremely profitable one day.
 
Already it's enough for any kinds of editing. Go ahead.
 
Everytime I ever had an issue with a motherboard it was an MSI. Asus ftw.
 
It's good PC for both (work and gaming), i have a little worse but it's enough for similar tasks.

Most of your specs here are good enough to do what you’re trying to do. Even the wattage on your PSU is good enough to support your GPU.

The only thing I’ll tell you is that the bread & butter combo is an AMD processor CPU and an Nvidia Graphics card.

Or an intel processor CPU with an AMD graphics card.

It doesn’t matter, but apparently they work a small amount better together performance wise in the order I listed.

Why only 16GB? You have got an excellent processor. Couple it with 32GB RAM and you can make the PC fly in the air too.
 
Why Liquid cooler for i7 chip? It's better to get a good aircooler like noctua nh d15

For editing, 32 GB of ram is better

I hope you already research the psu because it's the most important component of your PC

Consider to upgrade to RTX 3060 Ti or wait for Nvidia 4000 get released next month

16gb ram won't be enough for editing, especially if it is after effects. I would go with 32 atleast but 64 for sure. Also try to build a DDR5. + I am not a fan of water cooling, buy a noctua air cooler and I would get a better PSU like seasonic.

Very true. I do a lot on my PC, including AE, Premiere pro, photoshop, and 32GB is the absolute minimum unless you’re running nothing but that program.
 
Ramp up your RAM to at least 32gb and you're golden.
Also, maybe consider higher Wattage PSU to be future proof.
