Ended up with the following:
3900X
Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570
Deepcool Castle 360EX
32GB DDR-3600 Ram
Gigabyte 5700XT
1TB Samsung EVO SSD
Phantek P600S case
Seasonic Prime 750W Power Supply
Unfortunately, couldn't find the ASRock Taichi here without a huge markup (over $500 CAD here the few sites I've seen it listed) so ended up with the Gigabyte board which so far seems quite nice build and support wise. Only issue really is can't control the RGB's on the board as far as I can see.
Thanks for the help folks! Everything seems to be running fairly well on Manjaro currently. Using 5.5 kernel. I do notice certain proton games end up being laggy for a bit at the start but smooth out. I assume that is likely due to the shaders being compiled the first time?
Honestly, quite impressed so far with how much just seems to work out of the box. Only issue I really have is processor seems to jump temp wise quite often by up to 10 degrees when just browser causing the fans to kick in at quite a high RPM but resolved this with a custom fan profile.
Is there anything like fast sync(Nvidia) or enhanced sync(AMD) like on Windows. Where it basically tries to reduce/eliminate screen tearing without GSYNC/FreeSync?

I run a 3600 & 5700XT (Powercolour Red Devil) with ROG STRIX B550-F on Arch, used to use Manjaro, and have had no major issues at all. I'm extremely happy with the setup and would strongly recommend it.

I'm an Aorus X570 Elite user and so far everything is fine and working as intended. No RAM problem, no boot issue on Manjaro or Mint.
Sensors is reporting the cpu temperatures just fine.
And for OpenRGB, the Elite seems not to be concerned since the only light on this board is really discreet, it's just a line over the I/O shield and I don't know if it's adressable at all. The Aorus Master seems to be supported though.
Cheers
That sounds promising :) I saw that Aorus RGB was supported by OpenRGB but with a "(USB)" next to it, hence the curiosity about the MB LEDs. As you say, it's fairly minimal, so it's definitely not a deal-breaker for me if it's not addressable.
To anyone else stuck between Gigabyte and ASUS, I'll just mention that the reason I'm leaning towards Gigabyte is the over-the-top 14 phase VRM VCore/SoC power design; as Linus Torvalds said when he explained why he went with the Gigabyte Aorus TRX40 Master:
