quick update:
sorry, on some aspects i'm not being clear. i can't ask advice, then not say exactly what i was talking about...my bad.
in the office, everyone is hard wired in.
at times, my dad will remote in for data (not a lot)
i haven't given up on the idea of going Intel, i just have to get a complete AMD build first, because it gets real confusing, real quick. i already posted a mistake "3600" vs "3200".
i just got off the phone with ASUS. i also just learned a B550 is the current chipset, not the X570. i know, noob here.
ASUS suggested the TUF GAMING B550-PLUS AND it also works with their ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 graphics card. now, i know, i know, that was a new idea. but when i called him, he did like the idea of having that card in there for 4 monitor support, in case he decides to use it now, or maybe in 6 months. at $60, it's a no brainer to have it. but taking the concern if it would work, i did double check, call, and get the confirmation it will plug into the pci 4.0 spot and it backwards compatible.
i know i'm the noob here, but so far, i really love the suggestions and even though this is a little bit more hardware that i "should" need, that's not a concern. keep in mind, what ever i build, it will be 10 years (lmao) before he calls me again, to do this all over again. upgrading in a few years, actually is a pain and he doesn't mess with computers and relays on some knuckhead noob that will over charge him for a $5 part.
an option i was going over with him, was to make sure his current rig (which he loves) can also replace his "server" if needed. i'm sure i need to add more ram to it, and maybe a HD or 2. but i WAY over built it then, with all this in mind. believe me, i had to explain to him that he CAN install new ram modules!
anyways, i want to say thank you for all the help so far! it's been great and you are really helping me bounce down the lane! lol!

TMI (Too Much Information). I could go on an ON 
and move along as I'm probably getting you confused
