My main concern is cooling, as I'm not watercooled.
KitguruTech did a test recently. TLDW: use the Noctua TR4-SP3 cooler unless the Thermosiphon becomes available.
The only TR4-specific AIO cooler, the Liqtech, is one to avoid.

I'm actually only running 32GB total right now, may upgrade with the TR build though.
Just swapped out my 2950x to a 3960x which went smooth, all booted ok into windows with no drama.
Testing loads it pulls just under 600w fully loaded on the cpu and gpu (measured by the UPS) which is quite good.
Just wondering whats the typical RAM speeds that can be achieved, got my ram to a 'standard' 3200MHz C14 but its rated to 4133MHz at C19 (which I know the cpu won't do), its B-die.
Cheers.

Yeah cooling is my only bugbear with the TR4.
If you use sof tubing don't use cheap stuff otherwise plasticise will happen and the tubes go cloudy.
Thanks for the info @Panos. I considered watercooling my rig a few months ago and actually made a thread about it on here. However I managed to get more than acceptable temps after messing around with my OC and fan curves etc. It is something I'm interested in but the sheer amount of parts available to choose from was actually quite daunting. How much would it cost to watercool both the 3970x and a 2080ti and what sort of temps would you expect to see under load (for comparison)? May as well do both!
