I'm extremely new to PC building, and I want something that can be used for gaming and editing, mainly. After watching many tutorials and looking up questions on forums, I came up with this setup (I'm on a tight budget). If you can tell me if all the parts would work together and that there's enough fans for cooling, that would be greatly appreciated.

Case (2 built-in fans): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MCWREIF/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I24JIOJG2H3RJX&colid=120VM7YHI7BLR

(if there is anything I could downgrade on to save money, please let me know.)

Thank you for the response! Sorry, I didn't realize you asked my budget in your question earlier. My budget was $700 anyway, so your build works well for my budget. I accidentally gave a negative vote on your original comment. Sorry, I'm new to this site.

Would this setup provide enough cooling? I've heard you need to have at least 3 to 4 fans. Also, would this build be able to handle heavy gaming, or mostly medium or light gaming? Last question: what is the cheapest ram I could buy for more storage?

It's enough cooling, these components don't produce a lot of heat. It would likely be beneficial to place one of the fans at the rear as an exhaust though.
It's capable of AAA-gaming, but you may have to turn the settings down a notch or two for 60 fps.
I'd buy the kit mentioned above, you're not gonna see any difference in gaming between 2400Mhz and 3200Mhz RAM with a GTX 1050 ti, but the price difference is so small and RAM is something you'll likely keep for a long time.
