For 4K resolution this is what I would consider for around that price point.
But if possible I highly recommend to hold off on the build for now. As RTX 5090 is just few months away now and is set to get a minimum 70% performance uplift over RTX 4090 which is crazy. From your description it seems like you don't upgrade hardware ever generation. So it be better if you can wait and purchase RTX 5090. As that will actually get you true 4K gaming experience over a much longer period of time. Till then please keep adding to the budget as much as possible so that you can get no compromise high end build.
The 7800X3D stands out as the top value in AMD gaming CPUs, offering strong performance. Avoid chasing higher numbers; unless you require 16 cores for tasks like content creation or rendering, skip the R9/i9 models. That investment would be better used elsewhere.
The only genuine 4K GPU I consider is the RTX 4090. The main challenge lies in adjusting your setup to accommodate this GPU within your budget. For instance, here’s a possible configuration:

Thank you everyone for your advice and recommendations.
It seems most of you are in agreement regarding the CPU, cooler, and motherboard. If I can enjoy gaming with the Ryzen 7 just as well as the Ryzen 9, then choosing the 7 makes more sense.
Air cooling appears to be a common choice too. It looks like the decision comes down to whether one prefers water or air cooling based on budget.
I compared the two motherboards and the Aorus Master almost feels like a copy with its pricing now. The TUF Gaming 650 seems to be the better option.
Having slightly less but faster RAM also seems wise.
I plan to keep my storage setup as it is. I prefer having a separate SSD for the system, so I can easily reinstall it without needing to create partitions.
Overall, I think I’ll wait a bit longer and be patient for the next generation of graphics cards.
It’s clear that upgrading isn’t something I’m comfortable with. I prefer a PC that lasts as long as possible given the demands I place on it. Still, your suggestions have been really helpful in opening my mind to new possibilities. Thanks again!
It seems like a good motherboard for its cost. The main drawback is the absence of an optical audio port, which would be useful for connecting to a stereo. It appears there aren't many AM5 boards with this feature. I believe the most affordable Asus option is the ROG STRIX B650E-E GAMING WIFI, though it's significantly pricier.
I'm unsure if this would be something you'd actually use or appreciate, but I wanted to bring it to your attention.
Thank you for noting it! I'll use just the usual audio jacks for your Sennheiser Game 1. If needed later, I can incorporate the sound card from your PC via an optical port.
