PC Build for 3D Animation and Rendering

I am thinking about building this PC for 3D work (modeling, animation, rendering):

CPU: 16 cores Ryzen 9 5950X AMD
Motherboard: ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX)
RAM: 64 GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3000 MHz (4 x 16 GB)
GPU: 24GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3090
M.2: 1 TB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2
Power supply: CORSAIR 750 W TXm SERIES™ 80 PLUS®
CPU Cooler: AMD Default
Extra Fans: 2
WiFi Card: ASUS PCE-AC88 AC3100 2100 Mbps/5 GHz, 1000 Mbps/2,4 GHz (or maybe just buy another hotspot)

About CPU and GPU I am sure from the articles, but I am not so sure about the motherboard and RAM.

(Q1) Though RAM 64GB looks OK, I see a lot of other options with different MHz (below, or 3200). Is the current choise valid?
(Q2) For the motherboard, I think this one looks good, the decision is not based on some solid comparison. What do you think?

It would be great if you could give me a hint :)
No rush for the reply.

Thank you so much.

Update:
- What's your Budget?
Can still add 1K to this build.

- What are your main workloads and secondary workloads?
The main is Animation and Rendering.

- Are you looking to upgrade the PC in the near future?
Possibly, yes, but I can wait for RTX 3090 restock.

- What country will you be shopping your parts in?
From Spain to Spain.

You don't usually get a cpu cooler boxed with an 5950X, so be sure to get a third party cpu cooler.

Ryzen CPUs generally perform slightly better with higher clocked RAM. So if you can get your hands on either 3200Mhz or 3600Mhz RAM, that should give you a small boost.

The Motherboard is fine. We usually recommend the Tomahawk for single GPU builds, or the MSI Unify for dual-gpu builds if you want to take a look at those.

Thank you for your advice, Alex!

I have added a Noctua CPU fan and upgraded the RAM to 3200 MHz.
I wanted to use one of the motherboards you mentioned, but I have limited options here :(

Thanks anyway!

Happy February.
