I'd be expecting this system to be paired with a 1440p144Hz+ or 3440x1440 100Hz+ monitor.

If you were to spend any more than this, it would just be on dressing the system up. So stuff like RGB RAM, maybe an AIO instead of the air cooler if you like, maybe more storage, cable extensions, case fans, etc.

You could spend the extra $170 for an R9 3900x if you want, but I wouldn't 'waste' the money if you're not going to utilise the 12C/24T of the 3900x.

Might be worth keeping an eye out for RTX 2080s on sale, seen some of them going really cheap now that the RTX Super cards are out. A nice RTX 2080 is probably worth ~$50ish more than a 2070 Super, so if you see any 2080's for under $600 that could be a good choice.

You don't need to spend $150 on a case, that's just probably the case I'd personally go for if I wasn't limited by budget or anything. There are plenty of good cases in the $70-150 range though.
