Just an RTX 2080ti will keep you going on 4K, no need for upgrades in RAM or CPU. Rise in resolution will increase GPU load drastically, but has minimal effect in CPU and RAM usage.

then why not 1080ti? Performance is a tiny bit behind the 2080, but leaves behind enough budget to buy the new 9900 (maybe the K as well, we'll see).

9900k is atm $550 each, so if you skip the memory upgrade and use 1080ti it should be within reach

9900 is already the cheapest i9. The 7900x seems to be out of stock while the 7920x cost twice as much.
