Motto: Me big smarts. Brainy boy do learns much
If I was personally spending 3 racks on a system right now, I'd be looking ats omething like this;
PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core Processor ($469.99 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($89.90 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard ($293.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Flare X 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($264.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Sabrent Rocket Q 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($229.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Toshiba X300 4 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($103.35 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB XC ULTRA GAMING Video Card ($1149.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Phanteks ECLIPSE P600S ATX Mid Tower Case ($149.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($86.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $2839.18

Although I'd wait a month and buy a Phanteks P500A instead of the P600S. The P500A is a P600S but will come with a better front panel for airflow, and I imagine it should cost a little less than the P600S but not 100% sure on that. Phanteks may later release the P500A front panel for existing P600S users to 'upgrade' to though, so the P600S is a fine choice if you're buying right now.
There are also some damn good Fractal and Cooler Master cases in the $100-150 range(which is how much I'd be spending on a case in a system of this calibre most likely).

Would you be able to overclock? I know with a system like this overclocking is not needed but I do like the option for later down the road I might decide to.

If you wanted to do a manual overclock, then yes you could.
However, it's not really worth it with Ryzen 3000 IMO. Just let PBO and XFR do their thing.

Oh ok, thanks. And this is all for sure compatible cause I really never used pc part picker and the compatibility thing at the bottom saying stuff lol.

Yup, 100%.

That's just because the motherboard has an 8-pin and a 4-pin EPS for CPU power. The PSU only has a single 8-pin EPS connector. A single 8-pin is adequate though, and the system will work fine.

The only time you're going to need an extra 4 or 8-pin EPS connector is if you're doing extreme overclocking with a 16 core 3950x, maybe with the 12 core 3900x but "extreme overclocking" is LN2, so you're not gonna have to worry about that at all I'm sure. At stock, or a manual overclock on ambient cooling(air/liquid) a single 8-pin EPS is more than adequate for a 3900x, or even 3950x.

Thanks for the help, just one more question. I want to buy right now, the case and stuff is good right. No problems with overheating or anything.

Yeah, the P600S will be fine. I would just personally wait a month for the P500A for the mesh front panel, but it's not a huge deal.

If you would rather buy something now with a mesh front panel for better airflow, then these are the 2 options I'd be looking at in a similar price range to the P600S;
pcpartpicker.com/product/VvJtt6/f...s2-bko-tgd
pcpartpicker.com/product/G766Mp/c...0-ignn-s00

All 3 are perfectly good options, so just get whichever you prefer the look of really.

Lian-Li PC-O11 Air/Dynamic is another decent option that many enthusiasts swear by. It's a little wide/bulky for my liking, but if it floats your goat then it works;
pcpartpicker.com/product/VxRzK8/l...e-pc-o11dw
pcpartpicker.com/product/HqVD4D/l...-pc-o11air
Although, it's a $120-150 case, so obviously don't pay $300 for it lol.

Ok I might go for one of those. Do you mind though showing me a intel build for the same price range you don't have to I just want to see.

Range 2500-3000$

If you want to pay an extra $200+ for a lesser CPU, then this is your closest comparable Intel option to the 3900x;
PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: Intel Core i9-10920X 3.5 GHz 12-Core Processor ($699.99 @ Best Buy)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($89.90 @ B&H)
Motherboard: Asus STRIX X299-E GAMING ATX LGA2066 Motherboard ($273.49 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Flare X 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($264.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Sabrent Rocket Q 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($229.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Toshiba X300 4 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($103.35 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB XC ULTRA GAMING Video Card ($1149.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Phanteks ECLIPSE P600S ATX Mid Tower Case ($149.99 @ Amazon)

So this build is on par with processing power of 3900x. What's the difference with i9 9900k is that one just pretty much good for gaming only.
