I'm looking at the alienware aw3423dw, but I think a 4k display is needed with the 4090. But I want Oled, is it better to buy a QD-Oled TV or wait for a 4k monitor?

MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
I personally think the Dell display would be a better experience than a 4K one. It's ultrawide, which is nice for gaming, and amazing display quality. A 4090 would be overkill for it. In most games, a 4070 Ti would probably offer very similar kinds of performance for hundreds less. But let's assume you want the 4090 for now, even though I'd recommend against it.

Next, I'd recommend against the custom liquid cooling. It's very expensive, adds little performance, and adds huge amounts of maintenance. I'd get a better all-round system.

I'd change from Intel to AMD and the X3D v-cache CPUs that will be out this week. I think the 7900X3D will make the most sense for you.

For the case, I would suggest looking at a new case, the Corsair 5000D RGB Airflow. It's expensive, but I think it's one of the best options there is for a combination of aesthetics and cooling. Then you can do the send-in-your-own-case option. I'd loose the extra fans. Sadly I haven't been able to select the cable extensions for you for some reason with then non-liquid system, but I'm not sure how much that'll matter to you...

For storage, two 990 Pros seems a bit mad to me! The Samsung disks have been having problems recently; at the moment I'd stay away from them. For a gaming rig, I'd expect 2.5TB to be plenty (and you can always add more!).

Here's what I'd suggest, with all this in mind:

Case
Send In Your Own Case As above
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12 Core CPU (4.7GHz-5.6GHz/76MB CACHE/AM5) But actually the 7900X3D
0Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI (DDR5, PCIe 5.0) - RGB Ready!
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz (2 x 16GB) Ideal setup for gaming
Graphics Card
24GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4090 - HDMI, DP Though I'd choose the 4070 Ti
1st M.2 SSD Drive
500GB SEAGATE FIRECUDA 530 GEN 4 PCIe NVMe (up to 7000MB/R, 3000MB/W)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
2TB SOLIDIGM P41+ GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 4125MB/sR, 3325MB/sW)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 1200W HX SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® PLATINUM, ULTRA QUIET Overkill, but sensible for the 4090
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
Processor Cooling
Corsair iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX RGB Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler

Sorry this might be in the wrong place, but the build I've posted is the one I've bought and currently in building. The 4090 is the centrepiece, thats why I was asking for monitor advice.

I currently have a 65' Samsung s95b at home that I plan on using for gaming, but I want to get a monitor for my fiancées house. That big ass water-cooled beast is coming with me when I go to hers. So I'm looking at monitors, and I feel like anything under 4k is a waste with a 4090?

The Samsung drives have had a firmware update recently apparently fixing the issues with the drives, I have this system ordered for 3 weeks now and I did get worried.

I appreciate the effort and thought you put into your reply @sck451 you're very Knowledgeable, this build I did with not much expense spared.

I would just like a recommendation on a monitor that's up to the task.

I think @sck451 's point was that you could have got the same or even better performance for LESS money than you have with the system you have ordered
