You won't need a 3090 with a 1440p monitor. And you can save even more $ buy getting a nice ~800w PSU

I'll look into upgrading to a 4k monitor if it can hold high frames. I'll change the power supply. Thanks for the suggestions.

Everything else look quality? Is the i9 10900k worth the extra cost?

It depends on what exactly you will be using an i9 processor. Till now, it is the same theory with games as they prefer faster cores than the no.of core counts, and single-core performance is pretty much narrow between an i5,i7 & i9. However, the i9 is the best CPU in the market your money can buy. Here, some can afford and many cannot.

That decision is yours to make. It does get the best frame rates at stock compared to all others. The difference can be just a few percent in FPS, depending on the title.

The question is it worth the very high cost to get there?
