First PC build since 2016!

[PallenPlays]

Budget (including currency): £6000 (GBP)

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming/ playing new games. I ideally want to be able to play the games at 4k. Whilst I mainly play The Elder Scrolls Online at the moment, I also enjoy playing big tittles such as CyberPunk 2077 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. I would like to be able to play these on good settings. 
 

Other details:  I ideally want to be able to play the games at 4k when not streaming and be able to play 1080p games very smoothly whilst streaming on ultra settings. This is my dream build that I have been saving up for for a while. I have not upgraded my PC since 2014 so I want a build that will last me a long time. I will be pairing this wtih 2 BenQ PD2705Q｜27-inch 2K QHD that  I already own. I am extremely untechnical. I watch LLT videos for the banter- most of the tech stuff goes over my head. 

I am upgrading from: 
GFX: Nvidia Geforce 1080 - This has been used for 16 hours a day since I got it so it is very tired and often blue screens. Hence the upgrade. 
CPU: Intel Core i7 8700K Unlocked Coffee Lake Desktop Processor
MOBO: ASUS Intel ROG STRIX Z370-H Coffee Lake GAMING ATX Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400MHz RAM/Memory Kit 2x 8GB
Cooler: NZXT Kraken
SSD: Samsung ssd 840 EVO 250GB
HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 4TB SATA III 3.5" Hard Drive - 5900RPM, 64MB

With the issues with 5090 overheating, is it better to get a 4090 instead? There are a few 5090's in stock near me so that will not be an issue.

Which issues? I'd just make sure the case has nice airflow for that.

Two obvious changes: 1. DDR5-6000 CL30 so that you don't have any issues getting your rated timings. 2.ATX 3.1 psu. A suggested change: Look for a case with better airflow.
