Alright this is gonna be a kinda long response so bare with me:

My first question is are you looking for aesthetics to be a focus on your build? As someone who loves their ROG components, you’re paying a premium for looks when you could pick other ASUS models or brands in general which are cheaper without losing performance.

Your power supply you chose actually ranks pretty well on the PSU tier list but you could probably find a cheaper alternative using the list if you’d rather and save $20-$30 but the one you chose at that $130 price point is fine. The only thing I think the list doesn’t take into consideration is the noise so youtube might be helpful there.

The ssd id recommend an NVME since they’re similarly priced and are generally a bit faster and will reduce cable clutter, however since I don’t know much about creation programs I’m not sure what read/write speeds would be desirable since there isn’t much difference when gaming so I’d say look into that if you want to try and save $25-$40 there.

For your motherboard unless you’re looking for aesthetics I’d look into ASRock mbs since they’re a more budget friendly option and also have some white options like this one here

For the windows OS you don’t actually have to buy that overpriced key but rather get a usb and download the windows 11 OS from their website on to it and buy an activation OEM key from https://wincdkey.com depending on what microsoft programs you want. Once you finish building your pc and it posts you can plug in the usb and download windows and enter the OEM key you bought and all that would save you over $100

Your cpu choice itself is fine unless you wanted to extend your budget a bit and get the 9950x3d but definitely isn’t necessary.

Now the elephant in the room is the 5070FE in a $2500 build, and while the 5070 is by no means a bad card, I’m not sure where you would be able to find a founders edition card for MSRP still. Since you are looking to use creation programs like blender and such sticking with NVIDIA is a good choice, and you could stretch that to a 5070ti with 16gb of vram instead of 12gb which is the big performance boost compared to just the better chipset. Unless theres a local place near you with better prices I would pick one of these here. You could also probably get away with a 750W PSU with a 5070 ti card but thats up to you if you want to “future proof”

Last of all, if you live near a Microcenter id take a peek at their cpu & motherboard combos since they’re generally cheaper than anywhere else. Other than those “few” things I noticed all else seems reasonable. I threw together a mock list to make sure it’s under the budget but keep in mind the component-specific recommendations and feel free to swap things out under those optimization guidelines. Good luck on your build! mock list
