I intend to build a new PC when Ryzen 5000 is released since I have a buyer for my current PC. As a result, I would like to have your opinion on the parts I’ve picked:

As you can see, many parts are still missing but I intend to pick the following additionally:
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: RTX 3080 or Big Navi
Now, I have not ordered anything so far, so everything is up for discussion but, I’d like to know which PSU you would recommend. I will probably pick 1kW PSU and it should either be gold or platinum certified.
Furthermore, I’m unsure which mainboard to pick. I’ve heard there won’t be a new chipset for Ryzen 5000, so most of the boards are already released. According to Buildzoid, MSI has the best boards currently (VRM + BIOS + RAM support), but here I would like to get other opinions. With that being said, ASUS intends to release the ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero, so other new boards might be in the pipeline as well. (I do like the passive chipset cooling.)
Also, I will pick some kind of NVMe SSD, probably PCIe 4.0, any recommendations on there (1TB)?
Finally regarding the price: I’m willing to spend more if it is warranted; however, I also do not intend to burn money I will probably use this PC first and foremost for gaming, but sometimes additional stuff runs in the background and I’ve gotten used to 32GB. (So, no 16GB).
In the PC I intend to sell is a Corsair RMi PSU which I could use and install a 700W PSU instead. Furthermore, I could also harvest a ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro and sell it without it. Both actions will reduce the price of the PC of course, but I also think that keeping these parts in there won’t increase the price enough in the first place.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I would be interested in your opinions.
