Questions about my future build plan

Budget (including currency): 3500-4000 AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 3D design, fluid simulations (I'm an aerospace engineering student), gaming (competitive games such as Warzone, so lots of fps)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have a MSI trident 3 arctic prebuilt with a 1070 and i7-8700k which works fine but I would like to upgrade. I have a 4 tb ssd so storage isnt a problem, hence only a 500gb m.2. 

 

Im here looking if I can lessen some of the expenses without doing too much to performance. I am planning on buying everything when Graphics card prices go down so in a year or 2. Was wondering if prices of the ddr5 ram and supported motherboards would lower by then also? My current build plan is in the excel spreadsheet below. I have a 3D printer and lots of plastic so I will do a build like what linus did in this video:

Way too far out to be planning. At least one new Intel generation and probably two AMD generations will be released in the next year or so.

If the usual pattern for new tech is followed ddr5 will get much less expensive over the next 2 - 3 years as sales volume increases.
