IMO no reason to get a 9900k if youre just going to get a 2700 super.

Yea, I'd say there are a few little quirks about that system that I would try and fix.
As mentioned the processor is a little overboard, IMO, but I guess future proofing is a thing. I don't like the 3000 speed RAM. 3200 at least, but maybe you can over clock it. I would have saved money on the SSD, and gone with 1TB or even smaller. Hard drives are extremely easy to replace, or get more of, and so spending the extra money now just to get 2TB seems silly to me. But I'm a cheap ass.

OK going to go pick this up today. All from Microcenter nearby for $1,450.47
pcpartpicker.com
My single pause is:
" SRock X570 Taichi ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it."
Not going to overclock much if at all so I shouldn't need a different power supply right?

I have no idea, but there's no way I'd push my luck. I'd find a PSU with the cables you need.

I will OC and see how it goes but went with the Taichi because it handles power better than anything cheaper so less heat, longer lasting everything.

It does have Intel networking gear, which is worth a lot in my book. My big concern about the X570 chipset are those annoying little fans that come on them.

youre paying a prem for the pci4 and the enhanced voltage regulators (which work along w/ the extra power), it's an OC'ers board, if thats what you want to do.

Totally wrong. If you do nothing but game, lb per lb Intel still has AMD beaten. Its only wen you add in streaming and other productivity shit where multi core performance comes into play AMD takes the lead.
I would stake my i5 9600K 6 core that I have @ 5ghz over any of your 30 core AMD chips in pure game performance.
On top of this Intel is just easier. Plug and play. AMD is still janky as fuck. With Intel I didnt have to fuck around looking for new AMD 3 compatible boards, I did not have to flash my motherboard to latest, I did not have to buy expensive ass xt3900 ram or whatever the fuck. I plugged it all in and it just worked. Something that AMD still has to get right so people are not fucking around to make their shit work.
BTW the x3700 system I built for my kid is still runnig great, but there is still something fucked with how hot that chip gets. I looked that shit up to and im not the only one experiencing those problems with heat and AMD x3700
