I would go with the 3900x any day, its straight up got 50% more cores. But thats just me

[F.E.A.R.]

3900X + Asus X570 Prime-P any day over the Intel combo.

would all my current gear work with the new board and cpu? and would i be bottle necking anywhere

You can keep your current parts, but the only thing I'd change is the case l, and get an airflow case Fractal Design Meshify S2 or the CM 500 series (H500, H500P, H500M). There won't be any bottlenecks, the GTX 1080 is still a strong card and I wouldn't upgrade it until the upcoming Nvidia 3000 series and AMD RDNA 2 GPU's. If anything else I'd consider a PSU upgrade later on.

Sounds promising
Thinking my Tower cooling is ok, could toss in a 3rd intake
