Yes, there’s a lot you should change, first off, the mobo. Why B450? Especially with a 3900X! The cooler is also overpriced, but go with it if you want the aesthetic. The ram is a little slow for Zen 2, and you could pull off more in your budget. Then no ssd? An SSD is ESSENTIAL for a new build these days, as they’re cheap and speed up overall performance greatly. The 2070 Super is on par with 2080 results for less money, so it’s a no brainer. The H500i is overpriced and lacks airflow, but again if you really want that aesthetic go with it.

The board's not that good of a deal, in X570 the Asus TUF board is better (with Wifi AC. Not sure of Edge has AX)

 

And the Gaming X Trio's small fan on the left looks bad, I'd much rather have the Duke for this reason

If you want you can get the H115i instead, it should run more quiet as larger fans wont need to spin as fast. The extra rad area is also always good. Up to you though.

No, the key will remove the watermark and unlock the customisation features like changing desktop background.

1)¨Noctua is better then most AIOs and wait more future safe.

2) You might not need 32gb right now, but i recommend it. I personally use around 20gb of RAM.

3) 2070 Super is probably best bang for the buck, in the higher GPU space. 

4) As your system SSD, use something really good, like this EVO PLUS.

I wasn’t sure if I should go with the 2070 super or 2080 , my budget Is around 2,100 so I guess I could go with either but I was leaning towards the 2080 a bit more since the price dropped quite a bit..

I would recommend using an SSD as your boot drive since it loads everything much faster.

If you don´t render videos or 3D models etc, the 3700X might be a better value
