I would only change the AIO to smt like the Arctic liquid freezer 360mm or better yet 420mm and save some money while not losing anything of value

Motherboard is also very overkill and you could get away with a cheaper x870 board

Ram is fine but also you paid extra for the looks

 

TL DR is that nothing is bad per se its just that you could min max it and finely tune it a bit more

Spend a grand on the monitor that's what you actually see.

DON'T rebuy windows, just use your boot drive from your old pc, or use your old pc to create an installation media.

Or they could bind the license/key to a microsoft account and use that

Really it is much easier

and your power supply might not fit the best in your case. check the compatibility notes at the bottom of your list.

Best possible advice.

 

4K 240Hz QD-OLED minimum with a budget like this, anything less and the 5090 goes to waste.
