Monitor and GPU upgrade advice

Got the 5800x3D ready to upgrade my system, came with a free tube of mx4 so I'll give that a go on the weekend.
Now got an extra quandary, in that I could use the existing AMD Ryzen 9 3900X CPU and upgrade my son's ageing pc which has DDR4 memory, a intel core i7-4790K on a Gigabyte z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming wifi mbd, but what am4 board to go for that has wifi and isn't silly expensive?

Thank you that gigabyte atx one looks perfect. I was wondering whether to go for a B550 or a x570, but this looks perfect.

So I've replaced my AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and installed the 5800X3D and re-run timespy (v1.2) and the score has gone down.
It's gone from:
11345 overall, made up of gpu score of 11471 and cpu score of 10685, cpu test 35.90 FPS
to:
11078 overall, made up of gpu score of 11571 and cpu score of 8927, cpu test 29.99 FPS

What have I done wrong?
 
Nothing I thing timespy just like as many cores as it can use and you have dropped the ammount of cores available.
 
Decided to build an AMD micro-atx build instead so that my son can take it to Uni with him after Christmas (started another thread about the case and mbd choice, hope that's ok)
The 5800x3D is working out great by the way.:)
