Hey everyone! I'm a first-time PC builder and I'm trying to create a PC for around $2000 USD that can handle 3D and video rendering, and it would be great if it could also run Unreal Engine. I plan to use it for gaming too, but I'm not getting into anything too hardcore. Since I'm in Australia, I know prices might vary a bit from USD, but that's the budget I'm aiming for. Any tips on optimizing my parts list would be much appreciated! Here's the link to my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QY3GXf

That SSD you selected seems quite pricey. You might want to check out some cheaper alternatives with a DRAM cache, or even non-cached PCIe 5.0 SSDs that could save you some cash.
Though the price tag is pretty high, this build should definitely handle your tasks without a hitch!

Thanks for the heads up! I actually realized I mixed up the SSD in my list. I was juggling between a 4TB and a 2TB, so that was my mistake. If you have any recommendations for SSDs, I’d love to hear them!
