If you've already bought and built it, and are happy with the performance, why do you need to ask strangers for validation?

Regardless, I'd personally have built differently and probably ended up with similar or better performance for probably less money. It depends to an extent on when you built it, I'd take a 3900X over a 9900K any day of the week but that chip might not have been available when you bought your parts. The parts you've used are good, don't get me wrong, but they wouldn't have been my choice.

I’m just curious. Just looking for people to share their thoughts.

You're fully aware of how good your build is since you listed every component.

Yeah i really dont see the point of this thread

It's rubbish.

But, I'm a nice guy, and I will offer to dispose of it for you.

Then you can build another one.
