Looks good. However, the smallest one with 16 Cores doesn`t with its 350 watts TDP. Speaking of which, I think you`re better off with normal Ryzen instead, undless you need the extra PCIe Lanes and/or the higher core models.

I'm sure the lower core count models have much higher all-core boost clocks, and unlike the 7950X, the extra surface area allows those boost clocks to be sustained for longer. Not that advertised TDP has ever been all that accurate (though AMD's is at least somewhat realistic, whereas Intel's has often been meaningless). But yeah, if you don't need the extra lanes, I agree a normal Ryzen would make more sense.
