Greetings. We can for sure look into this with you. What is your intended budget?

I'm looking to keep it under $1,000. I would like to use it for software development, running virtual machines, and some gaming as well (Cold War, Cyberpunk).

You did pretty well with the build. I'd swap the RAM for this: https://www.microcenter.com/product/612970/gskill-ripjaws-v-16gb-(2-x-8gb)-ddr4-3600-pc4-28800-cl16-dual-channel-desktop-memory-kit-f4-3600c16d-16gvkc---black 

3600 which shouldn't be a problem with your setup and you save a few dollars.

Thanks! @TSMikeW .. i see the GPU I wanted is sold out already. Would any GTX 1660 S be a good match? This one is available now..ASUS - GeForce GTX 1660 Super Dual Overclocked Dual-Fan 6GB GDDR6 PCIe 3.0 Graphics Card. Does the brand matter too much?

Not really, the only real differences between brands of the same model of video card would mainly be ports available, overclocking and amount of fans.
