I re-did my list last night and I managed to bring the cost down from when I did it 6 months ago, so I have a bit of a buffer to go...
So Ryzen 9 with X570x motherboard... that's decided... next is cooler... I was reading up on the Ryzen last night and it gets seriously hot... are coolers pretty universal?

I wouldn't say so. AMD support MB's better than Intel do.
It kind of depends on how much Bells and Whistles you want. High end boards are focused on Gamers and Kit hackers (Fan headers and LED lighting power).
If you are buying a Ryzen 9 then I'd get a MB to match it of else you rise bottlenecking it's full potential. However if you are putting it in a solid steel case/not water cooling/LED lighting get the cheapest one with the X570 North / Southbridge Chipset.
