New PC for me 2500 or less

Hey everyone so I am getting kinda serious about building my next pc and its looking like the budget will be 2500 or less. Don't need peripherals or a monitor just the pc. Also outside the boot nvme drive HD storage isn't such a big deal because I have a 1 tb storage drive in my current that will be migrating over. Here is the list and the only sticking point is I'm really trying to keep the 2080TI because this will likely be the only pc I will be able to do for 3-5 years due to little ones and moving so need it to be solid at 1440p 60+fps for a few years hopefully. Or at least 1080p 60fps as games get more demanding. Here is the current build, thanks for any input.

Do you plan to do any serious overclocking with your processor? If so then the 3800x may be slightly safer bet since they're supposed to be a better bin and it should have more overclocking headroom (which isn't always the case). Realistically though the performance difference is small. You could save yourself a few bucks and drop down to the 3700x instead.
Other than that the build looks solid and should last you a long time.
