Need some help Sanity Checking this build.

Usage
I will be running multiple VMs and environments at a time so i am looking for a high core count, thread ripper is probably too much for my needs. I am torn between 3900/50x, but leaning toward the 50 to give some more headroom.

I tend to browse the internet, play plex on the host whilst running the VM environment hence the 64gb ram

Gaming
I game a little bit but nothing to heavy and is not the primary focus of this machine. Will be playing GTAV, SCUM, Cities Skylines

Looking at 60-75 FPS range

From doing some research the 5700xt should be able to do 1440p gaming at this refresh rate?

Monitors

I currently have 2x 24inch 75hrts 1080p freesync monitors and will be adding a 75hrts 1440p 34 inch ultra wide.

So looking for some advice:

CPU - Think this is sorted
Motherboard - Not massively clued up so happy to take advice on better boards
Ram - i believe 3600 is the sweet spot for ryzen, are the CA timings good on this ram? good price point?
Power supply - again not massively clued up so happy to take advice on better psu's
Storage - I have a NAS for mechanical storage, looking at a 512 boot drive and 1tb for storage, again speeds and price point happy to take advice
GPU - Is this a good 5700xt?
Fans/case - Case is pretty much set, not expecting a silent PC but are these fans good? any other options to consider?

Happy to take any other points i may have missed
