I'll really appreciate any help.

Cheers guys.
 
Thank you guys for all replies and suggestions.

In conclusion (I'm noob with building of the PC, this is my 1st and I guess last time:D):

1. Is better to swap AMD 1950x for let say Intel Core i7 8700K (6 Core/12 Thread) Overclocked to 4.9GHz
2. Drop the PSU for about 550W
3. Change the RAM from 32 to 16 (I'll think about this :))
4. 100% - better monitors, I guess I'll just but something around 500+ and get one 4k instead of two (crap ones).
5. After the change of the processor for Intel, should I stay with the motherboard or should I change it i.e. for Intel Z370 Motherboard?
 
Thank you guys, for all of your advices. I spent this beautiful Saturday for assembling something which is good enough to fulfil with my expectetion and a lot cheaper. You are all right, I'll wait for the new processer which, as you said should show up very soon and than I'll sell most of the parts and get it.

I supposed to buy you a drink for saving me (from AMD) and my money (from buying usless parts) :D

Cheers guys, have a great rest of the weekend ;*
