That does look good
That particular 8950's PSU is rated at 460w (Bronze) which might limit hardware upgrades. You may wish to go for 750w, or higher... makes it a bit more 'future-proof'.
I bought a Dell XPS 8950-7129 last September to use for photo editing (Costco $1400 on sale). It has the 750w PSU. The transition from my old self-build to the 8950 was hassle free. Runs great. No problems, so far. Highly recommended.

I have the 8940, i7 10700, 2070 super, 128gb of ram, 3 ssd and a spinny drive. I also added the Noctua cooling cpu cooler and fans and it's silent and fast. No issues at all. 500w PSU works fine.
A decent 500W PSU may be OK. (I7-10700, 65W. RTX 2070 Super, 215W. nVida recommends a 650W PSU, but that's with an I9-10900K, which is rated at 125W.) Just curious: have you ever run a stress test on the CPU and GPU simultaneously? (Artificial; may never happen in practice.)
Nope. Just run work through it.

Why is the Peak Design Everyday Backpack so widely used? A snazzy design? Exceptional utility? A combination of both? After testing one, it's clear why this bag deserves every accolade it's received.
The new Wacom One 12 pen display, now in its second generation, offers photographers an affordable option to the mouse or trackpad, making processing images easy and efficient by editing directly on the screen.
