In short, this setup seems excessive, could be a bottleneck, or not essential.
I think most of this is too much for gaming. The GPU might be underpowered.
7900X3D seems like an unusual pick for games. 7800X3D should suffice and avoids the mess of multiple CPU chips with separate caches.
The motherboard is okay.
I don’t see the need to pay extra for dominator memory. There are plenty of CL30 6000 kits available at a lower price.
4070 Super is a solid mid-range option, but there’s room for more in this budget.
RM750e falls on the cheaper side of ATX3.0 PSU.
We can locate a better monitor within the budget, though it’s still a decent choice.
Your partpickerlink has several variations, and there are two memory kits listed for some reason.
Still a little room, maybe look at a 240hz 1440p display, or get yourself a nice mouse/keyboard/headset.
Just noticed the with heatsink Samsung Drive, switch that out for the regular one. The motherboard has a heatsink.

I would prefer the 7800x3d configuration, as it performs better in gaming compared to the 7900x3d. I’d opt for a case that offers superior airflow, such as the Pop Air XL. I’m hoping the link works and that I achieved a quicker GPU speed after making some adjustments.

P.S.: cuz you are upgrading and you have the old pc, might as well wait for the Nvidia 5000 series and AMD 9000 series by Christmas time.
