    Well I honestly don't know what a software engineering orientented PC would benefit from. You could either get the 3700X (2 extra cores, 4 extra threads) or get a 2070 Super instead o fthe 5700XT - for only light gaming the 5700XT should actually be sufficient, a couple of people had some issues with drivers for the card though. I'm not sure if that was only a release problem of if that's still a thing.

    Here's your build with some cost savings (I couldn't find the ram and case for the price you mentioned on PCPP, so I just used your prices)

    That's great! I'd check out the B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard and maybe a different ssd. Otherwise, it's something I'd build too! 
    Good luck!

    Everything in your build should work together flawlessly. Very good selection of parts - somewhat expensive however. To answer your questions:
     
    1. Airflow in both cases should not be a problem with the components you chose
    2. Your PSU can easily handle your build.
     
    With that being said: We could either help you save money with your build by going with less expensive options, without sacrificing performance. Or we could use the saved money to invest in a better GPU or CPU if you want. Let us know if you'd like an alternative build with that budget and if you'd rather save some money or increase performance for the same money.

    Hey there!
    You probably don't need an X570 motherboard. If I were you, I'd check out the msi B450 Tomahawk Max. The only big difference between X570 and B450 is PCI-E gen 4, which you won't be using with a 5700XT.
    It also lowers your price of the motherboard, so you can invest it somewhere else  
    You can also consider getting a cheaper SSD (adata sx8200 pro, corsair MP500, intel 660p), Samsung makes good ssd'ss but they also charge for the brand name
     
    What is the ram speed? Ryzen loves fast memory, 3200MHz or even 3600MHz is what I would recommend!
    Looks solid though, all parts will be compatible, good luck!

    3 advices:
    1. You don't need a x570 board.
    2. You don't need a 767$ GPU when you only want to do 1080p gaming.
    3. You don't need a 750w PSU, 550w is more then sufficient.
     
    This system is WAY overkill for just 1080p gaming. Either step it up to a 1440p 144hz Monitor and gaming or tune down your planned system.

    Very powerful build overall, don't leave it to drive a mere 1080p experience. Get yourself a 1440p monitor.
     
    Nothing too bad about the parts selection either.
