Ohh yeah sorry. I tried to mention using 16 GB RAM per rank, instead of 8 GB RAM per rank. Weird phrasing from me like usual while drifting off a bit. If you have more than 2 rank slots, that would be even better if the OP decides to upgrade his RAM in the future. With only 2 ranks with 8 GB RAM each you are basically throwing away 8 GB RAM in favor of something like 16 GB RAM in future upgrading. As I said, a total of 16 GB RAM is more than enough for Dolphin and Non-A games.
But yeah, those mentioned specs should suffice, no arguing from me there.
EDIT:
Yeah... I looked it up... I should have done that first obviously. The motherboard does have four rank slots. Which already invalidates my previous point above.
meh, if your budget is so tight that you're concerned about throwing away 8 GB of average DDR4, just toss it on ebay, you'll make a little bit back.

I’m concerned about CPU temps. What are ideal or standard temperatures for a CPU under full load? 65-75 degrees Celsius?
As long as you don't try to manually overclock (Which you shouldn't for a number of reasons. All of you reading are not CPU hardware engineers. go away), the stock cooler that comes with Ryzen CPUs will be fine. Just have a couple case fans in the front and back and your temps will be fine.
I believe the throttling temp for CPUs these days is around 95c? but I've never seen one go above like 80.

I just want to know what the conventional target is for any cpu under full load. I’m prolly
Aiming for an i9 intel processor anyways
anything under 80c is probably fine.

i9 9900k on
air runs BLAZINGLY hot unless you shell out the extra 100bucks for a Noctua DH15 or BeQuiet DarkRock 4 Pro (or whatever it is called) and you won't get a stock cooler with their K-SKU's. The TjMax of the 9900k is at 115 degrees Celsius.
I have mine under a Arctic Cooling 33 e-sports edition (yellow) and at full load it runs at a 120 degrees Celsius before it BSOD's, I have it running at 5GHz All-core boost (stock is 4.7GHz but temp-wise it doesn't make a difference) and locked the max temp of the CPU to 95 degrees Celsius in the bios, which under 100% load on the 16 threads throttles it to 4.4GHz.
I'll be honest, I generally don't care what hardware people opt for because they aren't spending my money, but is there any particular reason you want the i9? It's not a very good chip at all for what it is.
If you want high end, the 2700x is the smart option and whatever intel's latest i7 is usually the top end option. The i9 is.... I can't find a use case for it really.

The i9 9900k is really like 20% faster in 3D-rendering and video editing than the current i7 9700k (8c/8t) and quite a bit faster than the Ryzen 7 2700x which is very useful for the manufacturing part of my company.
I can also run 7 VM's with 2 "cores" at the same time which is very useful for the training part of my company, I regularly have 7 students which will have to connect to my system to use specific software for which I only have VM licenses as they are a lot cheaper.
On top of that my wife is a (retired) famous Hollywood actress/singer-songwriter but she does still record music with her 2010 Mac via RDP on my computer, which has most of the editing/capturing hardware attached to it, and she records videoclips for them, which I usually have to do post on. Finally she also is an aspiring photographer and editing RAW photo's in Lightroom or Photoshop on my machine is a lot faster through RDP than it is for her natively on her Mac.
Combine it with a nice high-end graphics card like a RTX2080ti and you can do some awesome 1080p 120FPS+ native gaming in most games and which also helps me run Blender/AutoCAD/3DMax with high quality and high speed 3D-views.
It can do all this without actually breaking the bank for a high core count Xeon or Threadripper (I broke the bank with a RTX2080ti, but it is getting great use in playing games and in my company for which it is originally bought.)
But yeah, I'm an outlier here
[bragmode]
I think my next upgrade will be 4x16GB DDR4 3400MHz ram, I recently added my second nVME m.2 which is a 1TB SSD used for paging/scratch, VM and game installations (so I now have around 32TB of storage)... Yeah, things are running quite smooth on this computer here
