How much does that CPU cost? A 12900K may be a better choice.

 

Other than that it seems decent.

That would be a sweet setup.

 

The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is the bios version on the MB being up to date enough to recognize the 5000 series. But that board doesn't require the CPU/Memory installed to update the bios so would be a minor problem at best. 

 

I assume you will have a second drive for storage/programs?

B550/5800X might be more balanced...

If I understand correctly & you're going for 32GB RAM, a 2x16GB kit might be a better choice, if only because it'll stress the RAM controller on the CPU less.

Isn't B550 Zen3 ready by design?

 

EDIT:

Zen3 didn't get new chipsets - n/m.

Intel 6xx 'boards would kill the value, though...
