Is cooling why you want to limit the power?
 
If so, don't bother, the CPU will thermal throttle if needed. I'd just let the temp be the limit here

I think you're a little confused about what power stages are. Power stages are an integrated high and low side MOSFET that convert the 12V DC from the power supply to the ~1.2V DC used by the CPU. These have a power rating in amps that tell how much current they can theoretically handle in ideal situations, though in practice that number more translates to the relative efficiency of the power stage (I.E. a 60A power stage should be significantly more efficient than a 45A power stage, though that does start to break down above ~70A where it comes down to the individual parts for what is actually the most efficient). 
 
It sounds like you're more referring to the power limits than the power stages. Any sort of power limit on that CPU is going to result in it having a lower clock speed under full load, the question is more how much does that extra power actually help performance, and figuring out the sweet spot between extra performance and extra power. This can only really be determined through a guess and check method, so experiment with it until you find the amount of power that is good for your workload without hurting your performance that much. 
 
Also as @Electronics Wizardy said, an undervolt is a good idea to consider as well, since that will lower the power requirements for the same performance level. 

Getting a pic of the PSU and posting it here (or finding out what model it is specifically) would be nice.

A 4070 would be a nice drop in upgrade, as would be more RAM. I would suggest buying an entirely new kit of RAM though, if you want more. Mixing and matching kits tends to lead to stability nightmares if you're even slightly unlucky.

The 5700G had the same number of PCIe lanes as the standard Ryzen 3000/5000 series CPUs did, 20+4 (20 general purpose lanes, 4 dedicated to the chipset). The reason you'll see a mix of people saying that AM4 has 24 lanes and 20 lanes is because of the chipset lanes and whether you want to actually count them as PCIe lanes. I'm personally more in the "they have 20 lanes" camp because there's no way to use those 4 lanes for anything other than the chipset and therefore it isn't really useful to talk about their chipset lanes, similar to how it would be kinda weird to say LGA 1700 CPUs have 28 lanes because of their 8 DMI links (these are basically PCIe lanes with a different lanes). 
 
Small correction, those 4 lanes for a second NVMe slot aren't actually dedicated to a second NVMe slot. They're general purpose lanes just like the 8 for the GPU, so it's up to the motherboard for how they'll implement them. Boards like the B650 LiveMixer will implement them as an x4 PCIe slot, while some boards will do a NVMe slot like you described. 
 
 
Realistically, the debate around how many PCIe slots a CPU has is not directly relevant. A CPU could have 40+ lanes, yet if the motherboard doesn't wire them up fully, it doesn't really matter. The X99M Extreme4 for instance, the CPUs on that board support up to 40 PCIe lanes, yet in practice that motherboard only has 32 of those lanes wired up. You want to look in your motherboard manual as it will tell you exactly what lanes go where when any given CPU is installed, as this is realistically all that actually matters. Think of the CPU lanes as an effective maximum, and it's up to the motherboard to actually use as many as it can. 

Same PCB is shared across multiple models, or they are used for factory testing, or they are RGB headers Don’t fuck with it, use it as is.

We don't need these posts at all.

Well, I'll just be here chugging along with my GTX 480,  2 6600k threads and 3 4558u threads

5900x isn't really meant for gaming. It's unnecessary. I'd probably sell that and the GPU and try and get a better GPU. A 2060 is far from a powerful card.
I'd probably get a better cooler than that.

Lol I immediately don't trust a list that has ray-cons on it.

PWM = Pulse Width Modulation. Basically, they can be controlled better. Also, the industrial fans are supposed to be louder because they aren't necessarily going to be used for PCs therefore they may need to push more air therefore they are louder.

I am mashing F5 on the Activity tab. Hope I don't accidentally slap an actual person.

Most consumers do not require 8 DIMM slots. This is reserved for HEDT (High-End Desktop) motherboards, paired with CPUs like AMD Ryzen Threadripper or Intel Core Extreme processors, where they need the extra RAM and bandwidth for their daily needs.
