I last bought a new PC in 2020 from PCS (10900K /RTX 3090 system), and am looking to upgrade in the next few weeks. I have a budget up to about 6K or so, but I note a couple of items are not in stock currently, I just wonder if they're worth waiting for (9950X3D, and the ASUS TUF Geforce RTX 5090 (although you can pre-order). I mainly game in 4K and mod Skyrim/Fallout VR games (just upgraded to a Vive Pro 2).
I'm also not really up to date on which Motherboard I should be looking at - I want 3 M2 drives and a big SSD, but the more USB3 the better too.
For case I chose the Meshify 3XL after seeing reviews about how impressively quiet and cool it can be. Quiet is what i need when not gaming as it runs my living room entertainment too.
Edit: I play using a LG C1 4K OLED TV (120hz)
Here's the spec I am looking at, I'm grateful for any improvements you can throw my way:
