I'll start this by saying I haven't built a PC in atleast ten years, so any advice would be really appreciated.
I have a budget of ideally under £2800 but up to £2900 at most. I'm aiming for a 4k capable build, though it may not be used at 4k all the time. I would also like to leave room for upgrades a few years down the line without having to replace to much to accommodate new components. At first I will be using a Samsung qn90d tv as a monitor, but will be buying a more appropriate monitor to match the specs later in the year.
This is the build I've come to so far:

I would love any advice on the following: Future proofing, any issues with components I've missed, component balance, if the cooling chosen will be fit for purpose, if upgrading to the corsair gen 5 ssd for the boot deive would be worth it long term, anywhere I could trim costs, and finally if I'm over reaching with my budget aiming for 4k.
Thanks in advance.
