This would be my board of choice. (for single GPU) It only needs a BIOS update for the 3000 series. It is only 8 + 2 power delivery, rated for the 2700X at 105 watts. I don't think that you need the robust power supply, unless you intend to overclock and lose all that efficiency.
With your energy rates, it would NOT pay for itself any time soon, crash.
Sadly, I was really really hoping the 3950X would take the $550 slot, instead of being $750. That would have crushed Intel though*, and we don't want AMD getting complacent on us.
* I retract that statement, the masses will buy the cheapest thing they can find, and all this high end gear is of little concern to them.
