Few things to points,
- The build is based on G.Skill royal, so white and gold build so much as possible and as many as possible.
- Must be wall mounted and the best solutions (Other than moding) is Thermaltake Core P5 snow edition
- The GPU is a placeholder, will wait for a white or gold one.

Now my biggest questions is the CPU, either Intel i9 - 10900X or AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 2950X Processor

Any thoughts/suggestions is appreciated

Nothing you're doing is warranting HEDT. You'll see better real-world performance from a 10900K or 5950X, from the higher single-core performance.

Very true, but i want more bling 

Beside the high pci lanes count when i eventually install lots of HDDs/SSDs

HDDs/SSDs

sata connects through the chipset...

 

get 5800x/5900x a b550-f 

change out that ram for 32gb 3600 cl15

dony make a build purely for quad channel ram

I know this would perform better, but this build is mainly for aesthetic. so 8 G.skill royal would look much better just 4.

If aesthetic is your biggest choice, then pick the motherboard that you find the most attractive.

Personally, stay away from LGA2066, as the CPU's are much farther behind than sTRX40
