New LUMOS Gaming/Workstation PC

Budget:
Up to $4000

Expectations:
Gaming at or near max settings at 1440p and Editing and Rendering videos at 1080p or 4K(possibly in the future if I should upgrade my monitor).

Usage:
I've been a PC gamer for several years now and am retiring my old x17 DS laptop and getting an upgrade. However, I'm new to editing videos but plan on learning and doing a lot of daily vlogging and editing videos. I need a machine that can handle all of this, but I'm not sure how to build it. Thus I am relying on the expertise of the DS community .

Special Needs:
IMPORTANT: I need a lot of storage space. I'm not sure what the best SSD/HDD setup is for video editing with gaming on Steam,Origin,etc. but from what I researched I think the best way is SSD 1 for OS/Software like Adobe, SSD 2 for Project Files/Source Footage, SSD 3 for Cache/Scratch and Games. Again I'm not sure if this is the best way so feel free to suggest better(and cheaper if possible) methods of storage. I prefer not to use RAID setups though.

PS: I want the lighting setup that the LUMOS has on it's config page. I would like to know how to order it when I do go to purchase.

Thanks for the help.

Higher priority is Workstation, but I still would like to be able to game.

Hello. Thanks for the reply. I prefer All-in-one coolers instead of coolers that require maintenance and refilling. I also have a couple of questions:

1. Regarding the CPU you suggested. I wasn't sure whether I should get the 8700k or the 7820X. I want strong enough CPU power and I heard that overclocking the Skylake-X CPUs like the 7820X can lead to bad thermal problems. Does anyone have any personal experience with the 7820X or any knowledge of how it performs?

2.Does the "2x" in the Storage Set 2: 2x Storage (4TB Western Digital - Enterprise Edition) mean that I get 2 HDDs or would i need to get 1 HDD for Storage Set 2 and another HDD for Strorage Set 3?

I created a build for critiquing:

I have a x299 with a 7800x.
Thermals are fine.

I'm at 4.4 currently at 35
When I bench system max is 61 degrees.
You can see some benchmarks in my review if you like.

As our friend Alex would say " You have nothing to worry about. We have sold many x299 and have had no complaints on thermal issues. We thoroughly test our machines before you get it so there is really nothing to worry about." or something like that

As to Cooling I just prefer Custom loops to AIO because the pumps in AIO tend not to last and you end up replacing the entire unit within couple years.

With hydrolux lite will last about 4 years and then its simply replacing pump not the loop.

With hydrolux Pro should last life of PC most likely.

as to maintenance. My son still has my first DS PC with the Hydrolux lite. Been 7 years now and replaced pump year 4 in about 15 minutes. I think I have added little fluid like twice in all that time besides when pump was replaced.

DST4ME is correct on the HD's. Take his advice

This is your baby so take your time and don't jump the gun.
Remember you can always just call them and they will talk you through the build if you like.

Either way you will get the machine you want and more.
They don't F#$K around here.

Thanks for the help. I'm going to take in all the advice as I prepare for my build in the coming months. If I have any more questions I will post.
