Hi Steaky360. I only have an 1080p AOC 144Hz right now but will be looking to upgrade to a 1440p Monitor very soon.
The new Flight sim needs some beefy specs, so I have adjusted the items you have mentioned and changed case again to the CoolerMaster to fit the memory and cooler correctly. Many thanks

It may be worth keeping the paste - I added it to my 10900K after looking at its thermal performance, it's not good. It's going to need all the help it can get, in boost mode with a 240mm heat sink it will hit 100 degrees, the switch to the H115i is a good idea.
Probably worth having 16-32GB of memory, only a few things require more than 32GB, i.e. do you ever use virtual machines or edit complexes images for hours?
Optane, from the benchmakrs I've seen, only works when it's big and even then doesn't work very well for games as it caches the wrong info. There's a way to use it as an extended RAM drive if that's what you were intending? Otherwise I'd get rid of it.
I'd put any money saved from those changes into M2 SSDs.
Also, for a 10900K your PSU needs to be larger. The motherboard you have chosen doesn't limit the CPU's power draw and according to reviews in burst mode it draws 330W of power, the 2080 Ti will draw 270W at full pelt (Nvidia say it's 250W but every independent review maxes out at 270W). Add in power for the drives, cooler, etc. and you haven't left yourself much headroom, probably none in fact. What will happen is that the 10900K will throttle itself and not use its turbo mode, you'll be buying a very expensive car to drive it at 30mph.
I'd also think about switching to an AMD 3950 based system, it has a much better overall performance, in most games it performs just as well as the 10900K unless you're at the highest resolutions and the highest refresh rates. The only reason to buy a 10900K is where you play games that have a demanding single-core loop (mainly strategy games like Total War, Civ, etc.).
