It doesn't get much better than this:

Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (8-Core) 4.7 GHz Turbo

Storage Set 3: - No Thanks
Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections)
Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce RTX 3080 10GB (Performance Edition) (VR Ready)
Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 2: Digital Storm Vortex Liquid CPU Cooler (Dual Fan) (Fully Sealed + No Maintenance)

-Most popular Lumos case.
-PCIe Generation 4 goodness with a very strong processor made for gaming with great productivity chops as well.
-Upgraded motherboard with more ports and better thermal control.
-32 GB of RAM because you want longevity, and it's really quite cheap right now.

-M.2 NVMe SSD for primary drive that reads up to 10X faster and writes up to 5X faster than a SATA drive.
-2TB of additional fast SSD storage for games.

-RTX 3080 is not the sweet spot for 1440p gaming, the 3070 will perform nicely. But you asked for the best possible and no upgrades later. This GPU will produce very high freamerates on any game you choose for many years. IDK what the wait time may be, supplies have gotten better, but demand is still very high.

-There's even room in your budget to choose the RGB fans to show off the Lumos in all its glory IMHO.

$3512.

For 1440p gaming...none. The CPU will power the system just fine for the life of the system. High quality motherboard will last and last. 64 GB of RAM is double what you may ever need for gaming. The GPU is last gens' top-of-the-line, and should be overkill for 1440p.

You could get an M.2 NVMe SSD like the Samsung 970 Plus for your primary drive, and it will speed things up.

You don't need to upgrade that 2080Ti just yet. Wait at least 2 to 3 years or 2 gpu generations.
Only thing I would upgrade is to an Nvme drive as Storage 1 instead of the 860 EVO just as Cretae stated.
Enjoy.

"The CPU will power the system just fine for the life of the system. " These latest CPUs going back to the 8700K are so overpowered for gaming they don't need an upgrade, or an overclock for several years. The 10900k is not really any better than yours.

If your GPU fans are a bother, there are ways to set a fan curve on a modern GPU. Refer to Nvidia support or forums, I'm sure there is plenty to find on the subject. I also believe that MSI Afterburner, which is a software download for all kinds of GPU tinkering, will help you do that. Google is your friend.

IMHO, you have way too much invested in that GPU to just toss it aside.

The 3070 is about equivalent to the 2080 Ti, but, of course has next gen enhancements the 2080 Ti doesn't have. Better execution of Ray tracing and DLSS 3.0, for example.

If you have good performance from your 2080 despite the fan noise, get the 3070, have a card that may not be out-of-stock everywhere you look. Save your money and upgrade again next gen if you want.
