Nothing shows up at those prices for the 2080Ti anymore.
Discount period has expired. 2070 Super is still viable...

"If you're happy with a stock speed CPU and just want to get on the PCIe 4.0 bandwagon, then the MSI X570-A Pro has everything you need to build a decent X570 system, and you don't need to worry about its chipset fan being too noisy or whiny either."

It will do the job if you are not overclocking the CPU. But if you want to be safer and/or thinking about OC, you can go for one of these...

Lot many reviews like that should be only considered relevant when one is set on pushing the system to limit squeezing every small drop of performance out of it. For general usage even with regular OC for 99% of consumers that becomes irrelevant. You wont be pushing that high limit of current through board unless you plan on going for full-custom loop, in which case you will be spending very high on the rig and most of the recommended hardware by me, Hellfire13 or jeremyj_83 will change accordingly.

So I don't need to worry about things like hash cracking on MSI X570-A Pro? Where the system might be running for days continously on high load 24x7?

Hash cracking is not your typical workload as it usually involves aggravated power consumption. You should go with a better board with robust power phases, CPU cycles and VRMs, possibly one from that link I had mentioned above.
