The sort of Rule 0 of PC building: Don't skimp on the PSU. Also Rule #1. And rule #2 involves not ignoring the previous 2.
Its not just capacity. All PSUs can fail, even the top tier ones. The difference between a high end one and a low end one is that when a high end one fails its with a soft click...and it just doesn't turn back on. Somewhere between $100 and $600 (for a really high end one: 1600W, Titanium, etc) and your back running. If a bad one fails, chances are not 12/5/3.3V went into the 12/5/3.3V rails. Electronics tend not to survive that. So now your looking at a new PSU. And probably MB. And CPU. And GPU. And storage...and data loss...
Look at the AX1600i (yes its $600, but also one of the best PSUs around and 1600W): Protections OVP (Over Voltage)UVP (Under Voltage)SCP (Short Circuit)OTP (Over Temp)OPP (Over Power)
The one in the list: Protection Under Voltage Protection?120 Volts.
Do a quick search for 'exploding PSU'. That is why the DIY community has advised against prebuilts so much: they skimp on parts, historically the PSU, then people wonder why those systems fail after maybe a year or so.
Same issue for the MB: your taking a high end chip and putting it in a very low end board. Minimal power phases (so that is going to at best stress the VRMs if not an outright power throttle), no heatsinks (so they are going to get hotter on there own). I would be surprised if that MB lasts a year with an i7 in it.
And the SSDs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K07sEM6y4Uc&ab_channel=LinusTechTips. Editing work is a bit demanding, but when your new drive could be preforming like a 90% full drive, its not surprising that you can hit sub HDD performance with all the component swapping that is going on.
And the cooler and case: high end CPU that gets hot, minimal cooling. As soon as you put it under load it throttles and your looking at maybe i5 performance and you just wasted a bunch of money.
The good news: $1000 is a workable budget but its really tight.

Its < $10 over but there is a little wiggle room in the pricing: I had to manualy input the cooler and its a little over actual price. Hold off on the PSU, its $10 cheaper but out of stock. The big one is the GPU. If your willing to go AMD, a 6650XT scores a little better than the 3060 and you can get a good one for $270 and that gets you $40 under. Or if you could find another $10 you can get a RX 6700XT or keep a 6650 and squeeze the i7 back in.
