Upgrading PC (~2.2k budget)

[Aesthir9]

Hi all,
I'm looking to upgrade my current pc that is roughly 8 years old.
I'm thinking of the following build with a 2.2k budget, built on the pc specialist website

Case: PCS SPECTRUM G ARGB MID TOWER CASE ----- honestly not sure what to get here, I don't care about the looks so I just went with one that has more fans included?
CPU: i7-12700K 3.6ghz (25mb Cache) ---- cpu user benchmarks show better performance for the 12700k compared to the AMD 5900X
Motherboard: Asus TUF z690 PLUS D4 ---- honestly not sure about the differences between the motherboard options? If I want to use a wifi connection should I get the wifi board?
Memory: 32gb Corsair vengeance DDR4 3600Mhz (2x 16gb)
GPU: 12gb RTX 3080
Storage: 1TB Samsung 980 Pro M2 ---- I've read some reviews of issues with the 980 pro and z690 board, but since pcspecialist will build the pc I think I'll be fine?PSU: Corsair 850W RMx 80PLUS gold ---- Reading online I think it's safer to go for an 850W than a 750W?
Processor cooling: Not sure whether to go with the PCS frostflow 240 (250W TDP) or any of the corsair icue ones? I do not care how it looks, just want safe temperatures. Any advice here very much appreciated.
total: 2191£ (with the other standard stuff for wifi/windows license etc)
Note: This pc build is very similar to one of the "same day dispatch" ones, the "Odin R80" - which was on sale but that is no longer the case it seems. However, I think I prefer the 12700k CPU and the 850W PSU. Advice very much appreciated!
I have been thinking about perhaps waiting a month or two with the upcoming CPU releases but it is unclear to me whether this is beneficial given my budget.

Thank you.

If it was my money, I'd definitely wait for the pre-orders to open on 15th September for the new AMD CPUs.

According to the AMD video presentation last night (so take some of the , even the 7600X is unto 11% faster than the fastest current Intel offering (the i9-12900K), whilst running cooler and using less power.

Comparison to the 5950x / 7600x / 12900K starts about 5 minute in...

Thanks that's helpful, sounds exciting. I often see online forums state that adopting the newest platform on launch usually comes with a myriad of issues (some called it beta testing the new chips). How much truth is there to that and should I be worried?
I would be using this pc for WFH as well, so having downtime would be problematic.

I bought mine during the last release cycle (Zen3 CPU and RTX30x0 GPUs), and mine's ran faultlessly in the almost 2 years since.

The issues tend to be around the 'beta' BIOSes for existing motherboards...however in this case it's all new motherboards and they'll all have the same initial BIOS.

Intel has just gone through that though, so they're mostly safe, and not read anything bad about them other than the designed-in warping of the top-tier i9s.

However the new AMD CPUs are supposed to be faster and more efficient than Intel's latest chips even with their split performance/efficiency cores.

With any system, there's always the chance that a unique combination of components will cause issues, but that's no different whether it's older/current components or brand new ones...plus with brand new ones you get the opportunity to be at the cutting edge of the performance vs value curve.
