Overall it's a solid build, the only major thing I'd change would be going with a kit of DDR4-3600 for the memory instead since that's the sweetspot for Ryzen 3rd gen CPUs.
What do you plan on using the system for? -
Its Just for gaming and I meant to put DDR4-3600 for the memory thanks for that catch.

For just gaming the 3900X is pretty overkill. It's a great CPU and does well ingaming, don't get me wrong, but it's really a CPU designed for workstation tasks like video editing and rendering. Intel still holds the edge in gaming-only scenarios.
If you're just gaming, I'd recommend switching the CPU to something like an Intel i5-10600k or i7-10700k. They'll outperform the 3900X in gaming scenarios and you can save some money. For example:
