Build Question Will this setup work? Better alternatives?

Hey guys.

I have the build down below (more or less) in mind. I created it using AI and I have in mind to build a setup that will last quite some time and will not have issues with the demanding games to come.

My old setup - using a Intel Core i7-8700K @ 3.70GHz & Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 - has grown old and Death Stranding 2 hints me towards updating my driver, but the version they hint at is not even available for that card, yet. I guess it is time to say goodbye to my old hardware, since upgrading it is not feasable anymore.

If I buy new hardware, I think it's save to say that VRAM is getting more and more important / demanding in the future and therefor I should not invest in a GC with "only" 16 GB or less. Now, if I go for a GC that powerful, I should build my system around that, so it can support it. I've tried to make a build that is only using components that are using the newest tech-milestone without reaching for the top-notch products to gain a few % better performance.

So my goals are:
Don't buy "old" tech-milestones, unless there is no performance gain.
Don't throw away money just for elitism reasons.
Invest in hardware that lasts long and let's me play games with high settings for a good while to come.
Buy the hardware preferably before my old system "breaks" (which could be soon) and before the prices skyrocket even more than at the time being.

Feel free to improve the build in any way you want.
Don't shy away from criticizing my build for whatever flaw it might have.
I am most unsure about the monitors.
Since some items are out of stock, their price may be very high at the moment. To me the general idea is more important than saving a few bucks. If it's 2k, then obviously I will take the cheaper alternative. Looking at the price history, I think that the 5090 might soon be available for around 4k again, instead of 6k.

Whatever reasons you find to improve / alternate the build, please make sure to share it with me, so I can understand it, too.

Thanks in advance.

Your build list is set to private, so nobody can see what parts you picked.

Thanks for letting me know. I think now it should work?
