First of all, your total price does not include the price of your GPU... Which is literally going to double the price of your whole system. A 2080 is a pretty pricey card. Also if you are using the Ryzen 7 2700X CPU, you're going to want at least 3200MHz on your RAM because Ryzen CPUs have high frequency RAM.

That's completely incorrect. Ryzens don't have "high frequency RAM". It was an overclocking issue on the first gen Ryzen CPUs that required 1st generation Ryzen CPUs to have modules with a certain b-die and frequency in order to obtain higher overclocknig speeds. That has since been fixed with the second generation but what it did was affect enabling DOCP (AMD equivalent of XMP) to allow RAM modules to get their full unlocked speeds which in turn affected overclocking CPUs to higher frequencies than 4.5GHz. And as I said that's since been fixed with the second generation and while it's not nearly required as much it still is something to consider when buying RAM module with a Ryzen CPU. A G Skill Trident Z set at DDR4-3200 would make a much better pairing with a Ryzen CPU than say, Corsair Vengeance at DDR4-2400 would.

I do agree about the PSU - that PSU is dumpster fire quality. A Seasonic or higher end EVGA would be a much better purchase. Although if it's just 1080P you are going for then you could downgrade your GPU to a 2070 and you won't lose hardly anything in terms of graphics quality.

This is what I would suggest:
