What's your max budget? Can you please also add the reconfigurable link?
 
I forgot to mention - I will be using this for latest games and 3D graphics work mainly.
My max budget would be around £6k but would prefer to be around £5 to £5.5K

I have a bit of leeway if required budget-wise.

What have you spotted ?
Just a few minor tweaks :)

Here's my suggestion for your build, which will also save you around £300.

Case
LIAN LI O11DYNAMIC EVO RGB GAMING CASE - The 5000T is fantastic, but it's quite pricey, and I personally don't think it's worth the £50 premium over the O11 Dynamic. Feel free to change it to the Corsair if you like.
Processor (CPU)

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16 Core CPU (4.3GHz-5.7GHz/128MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5)
Motherboard
GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 (AM5, DDR5, M.2 PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7) - I believe the Elite provides all you need at a normal price (£150 less than the Master).
Memory (RAM)

64GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz CL40 (2 x 32GB) KIT
Graphics Card
32GB ZOTAC GEFORCE RTX 5090 SOLID OC - HDMI, 3 x DP
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7000MB/sR, 6500MB/sW) - Samsung is just meh; SolidiGM or Corsair are more reliable and have higher endurance.
1st M.2 SSD Drive

4TB CORSAIR MP600 PRO NH NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 7000 MB/R, 6500 MB/W) - Same as above
Power Supply

CORSAIR 1200W HXi SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® PLATINUM V2
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
Processor Cooling
CORSAIR ICUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB HIGH PERFORMANCE CPU COOLER - You can save £45 by using a non-LCD model. If you require the LCD screen, you can swap or simply purchase the Corsair kit separately.
Thermal Paste

STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING - Pre-applied Corsair XTM70 is far better than MX-4. The Arctic is actually a downgrade.
LED Lighting

2 x 50cm ARGB LED Strip
Extra Case Fans
4 x Corsair ICUE LINK RX120 RGB PWM Fan + Controller Kit
Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Card
ONBOARD 2.5Gbe LAN PORT

@Ekans2011 - Ha absolutely - I bought the monitor many years ago for my previous PCS system, which I have had since 2016 (and has been awesome).
I'm not bothered about curved screens - just a standard aspect ratio. I have 27 inch at the moment and that feels fine, though I wouldn't be against the idea of going bigger.
Budget will probably be around £800 to £1K (hoping that will be enough, but could be persuaded otherwise if necessary)

@SpyderTracks is the monitor guru here, among other things, but I'll do my best while you wait for him. :)

Taking the 5090 into account, I'd go with a resolution of 4K or superwide 1440p.

1) AOC AG326UG - 32'' 4K

2) MSI MAG 321UPX - 32'' 4K

3) AOC AGON PRO PD49 - 49'' Superwide 1440p

4) SAMSUNG G95SC - 49'' Superwide 1440p
