buil Avid gamer and multi-tasker... My first PC build.

[SaH]

This is big budget; I have never splurged like this before in my life... so I don't have the budget to make a big mistake. 

Budget 3500$ - 9000$ 40 000 NOK - 100 000NOK: 

Country: Norway

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Modern games with max fidelity-settings, workstation programs (Fution360, Unreal 5, blender, ai/procedural networks/genetic algorithms). When I get VR-glasses I would play Rumble and Minecraft ray-traced.

Other details: I use 6 monitors and have gotten dependent on that. I have peripherals and will be using the system for 50+ hours a week.

Due to stability issues in my old system I am a bit paranoid for stability. 3440x1440 175hz main monitor + 5x 1920x1080 (I would desire my 99% fps to be over 200fps). No peripherals needed, I have no system; I have a single 1TB SDD. I am fairly sure I need a 4090, so I intend use the 4090 ¿only? for my main monitor, and supplement my other monitors with an arch GPU and perhaps a second hand GPU? So I don't know if a second system to go with the main is a good or better option; given my budget. 
Intel Arc for encode? I heard it is a good value proposition. 

 

I would love to use the snowblind case for PC-stats weather and to-do list. I believe my CPU and GPU is good, and I know nothing about RAM and storage differences...

I have to read up DeckLink, but from what I understood, that is better way of doing it. 

This is good stuff for me to look into, as I don't yet understand the reason for change in parts. Why did you change the GPU, is it not better to have colder temperatures on the GPU? I very much appreciate the input. At the very least I learned that I can sort PCPartPicker for merchants :D!
PS: I intent to build a NAS for storage; as it is simply way cheaper (and more versatile for such need)

won't make a huge difference in temps, the air cooled version will be fine

Thanks a lot! Can't read all this now; but I will. Any particular reason for Intel CPU instead of the AMD? As I understand it they are fairly close in performance, but differ in power consumption: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-core-i9-14900k-14600k-review/ (I have had some finicky experience with intel before. ( I remember a meme about how Intel and AMD CPU crash, and I believe I preferer AMD's way?) 
Thanks

better productivity than the X3D 7950 and better gaming performance if the 7950X3D has all CCd's enabled

if you want to go AMD go for the 7950x, not the X3D
