You should look at a 240mm(at the very least) AIO or a beefy air cooler. I'd get the 990 Pro instead of the Samsung 980 Pro. Look at a 1KW reliably built PSU instead of an 850W unit.

I would probably swap out the 13600k for a 14700, better CPU cooler as well. Better motherboard with better external I/O. And I am not a big fan of the high CL memory.

And I agree with Lutfij, better PSUs solve a lot of stability problems.

Thanks guys some really useful advice! Can you suggest a component list that would work well for image processing using the 4090 if I increased budget to £3.5k?

Thanks Eximo, that compatibility issue not a concern when building it?

The motherboard has CPUless flashing of the BIOS. You will want to do this, all you need is a FAT32 formatted USB drive.

They have a handy video.

Anecdotally, I have also been told that you can sometimes boot into the BIOS using onboard graphics only. The PCIe lanes connected to the CPU won't turn on until the BIOS is updated. But that can't be relied upon.

The goal there was to bump you up to 8P cores and 12E cores for that little extra oomph over the i5. I don't really recommend the 14900 often, but that is an option with your increased budget.
