Idk... 5950x is also kind of overkill if you're not using the machine as a workstation. 5900x is probably more than enough. This is a good price though, I probably would have made the jump myself if I could have snagged it for this price instead of $850.

What sites do you suggest to get a list of all the parts to use and the case? Or a good video that would list all the parts used. I don't want to sit around waiting for deals on parts, which is why I figure going prebuilt with a warranty may be easier.
If you have a microcenter near you, you can have them assemble a custom rig for you if you buy hardware from them. They even keep a secret stock of GPUs they will only sell to people who opt to build a system. My brother just did this, they charge $150 for the service and they did a great job, even better than I could have done on the cable management front. Downside is you have to buy everything from them, but they will usually price match so it works out nicely.
I ordered a prebuilt , and then started upgrading it. Soon (very soon !) I had replaced pretty much everything except the graphics card. Looking back I realize I really could have just started with my one build. It wouldn't have been hard. And the although you will pay a little extra buying the graphics card separate , it is worth it to get better components than you will typically get in the prebuilt.
PCPartPicker let's you check everything you select for compatibility.
NewEgg also has a component shopping list function that is really good.
If you are really interested in AI and ML, a weird option for you might be to look at buying an older Dell Precision T7910 or T7920, or an HP z840. These workstations take dual Xeon chips and have capacity up to several TB of Ram. Amazingly you can buy a barebones system for under $400 on eBay. It's just a question of adding graphics cards, RAM or CPU upgrades from there. Just an idea / but PCPartPicker / NewEgg to build a system from scratch is really good.
I also have Asus Z10PE-D8 WS running dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 and a 128 GB's DDR4.
Between these 2 systems, I have almost 48TB's of disk space.
Should I upgrade the CPU to a 5950x or combine both systems and go with the TR 3960x?
So far, I've got the Xeon's running Esxi. Esxi is running Blue Iris, Windows 10 VM, Server 2019 and CentOS 8 (just to play with it)
The 3800x is running as my plex system and network file shares.
Thoughts?
Edit to add: I would like to test gaming from ESXI just for testing. I would also like to use it for pen testing and other cyber security testing.... just a small list of my plans.
It depends on how much PCIe bandwidth would you need.
Buying the right parts / compatibility, static discharge, thermal paste, proper installation, bios settings (knowing to enable XMP, etc.), and more. The worst is when something goes wrong like a defective part. Diagnosing and warranty / exchange can be a hellish process.
Even asking questions on what part to buy can be stressful due to all the different responses. (Some favor a brand over others. What part is needed / good / bad, etc)
The cost of a pre-built might be worth it to avoid the hassle.

I got a ASUS WS Pro x570 for my setup since it can do 3x PCIe 8x slots if you have a 1x gpu for basic display only. There is an MSI variety of this setup too IIR
Except around this corner is DDR5 and 3D stacked CPUs.
