My budget was $1000 and I created this pc. I will also be using it for video editing and modeling. I will not be overclocking. I am not sure of the motherboard. If anyone has any suggestions please help. It is okay to go above $1000 as long it isnt too much.

I'd go for something a bit snappier. Since you're doing video editing and most video editing software are giant and slow to start up, I included a SSD to help ease that part.
