Create AdviceTime for a fresh project, seeking expert help.
I cannot mark this thread as solved for whatever reason? The final build is as follows:

The AIO has grown in popularity and aesthetically I always preferred AIOs over air.

The cherry on top? They have an all black version! Finding an 8000 kit that doesn't include RGB proved to be an impossible feat; unfortunately, however, I feel this build gives me everything I need without compromising anything. Moreover, with my wife's approval for my next project (mora 420), it makes sense to look for components that fit the bill.
Thanks all!

As far as the 4090, very fast cards are available, but you still need a good pocketbook for it. It’s worth noting I’ve heard this before and came across an article mentioning one of AMD’s engineers who believed it might be feasible to create a card that could match a 4090. However, they claimed it would come with higher power usage and costs, which wasn’t their intention.
AMD mentioned they could potentially build an RDNA 3 GPU called the “Radeon RX 7000” that would compete with the NVIDIA RTX 4090. But they decided against it because of the added expense and power demands.

You be the judge—perhaps they thought it could work, or maybe they were uncertain about performance levels. It’s also interesting they might have aimed for a broader market rather than focusing on the top end.
It's similar to how a typical person pretends they can date anyone perfectly. If AMD could do it, they wouldn't be discussing it. This seems like a fake public relations move.
RGB shouldn't affect decisions when selecting components, except for very inexpensive imitations that can be easily ignored.
As I mentioned, it seems they could have competed if they had. Unless the card required 700 watts or something with a lot of heat. That's pretty wild considering 5 years from now, 4090-level performance might be affordable. It's similar to when the 1080ti was released—it was cutting-edge at the time. Now a card for 250-300 can reach that level (6700xt).
This spending is quite high. However, I believe you can improve the overall appearance. The parts in your list don’t match well; if you want a good look, make everything consistent and use uniform components. For example, choose a motherboard and GPU from the same brand and lineup. That’s what matters most for aesthetics.
I see, selecting MSI makes sense because it's close to an RMA center that's easy to reach. In truth, I'm going to grab whatever I can find right now. My goal is to get a monochrome silver/black build on a custom loop once the next generation of GPUs launches.
MSI GPUs are decent compared to their motherboards. Reduce reliance on the motherboard and opt for the ROG STRIX-E board if you need specific features on the MAXIMUS APEX ENCORE. Invest in a Synology 2-bay external enclosure along with two WD Gold 8TB HDDs to run them in RAID 1, ensuring your data stays safe. You can also run the two HDDs internally and mirror them for RAID 1 without spending on an external enclosure. However, I prefer external storage because it’s portable and can be kept offline, which adds extra security. Backups will still need manual handling occasionally, but this method is more reliable.
