Most of Ryzen performance can be achieved from just 65 / 88 / 105 / 142 watts, tune down the power limit to run cooler and avoid the expensive and risky AIO. Intel scales better with more power, but they really can give GPUs a run for their money in power consumption.
Nvidia GPUs for AI are only so good when you still have available VRAM. Once AMD Radeon ROCm is released for use on Windows, or if you're willing to get on Linux, Radeon GPUs can still prove just as fast as Nvidia on the price/performance curve.
Avoid getting anything faster than PCIe 3.0 for games. DirectStorage isn't here yet and memory manufacturers have started selling off PCIe 3.0 NVMe devices on the cheap.
