Pc build tips and help

I’m currently building my first high end gaming pc. My current monitor is 1440p but i intend on upgrading to 4k in the future. My budget is around 6000-6500$, i’m from canada so i’m buying all of these parts from places that deliver to canada and all the prices of each part are in cad with tax too. I like building over getting prebuilt because i know all the parts that i’m getting and helps ensure i don’t get scammed with cheap parts. This build is a bit over budget and i was wondering if i was able to get some tips on what i could do to lower the price of the pc, whether that be switching out parts for other ones or downgrading some of the parts if needed (i know 4tb Nvme is a bit overkill but i plan to keep that part). Also just wondering if i could find these parts cheaper somewhere else to help lower the cost. Just asking for any other things about the computer like issues with the chosen parts or something.

Is this a fair priced pc?

These are the specs for a 4,700$ pc i’m looking at buying:
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9850 X3D
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 5600MHz
corsair and kingston
- Motherboard: MSI PRO B850-S EVO WIFI
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 5080
- Storage: Crucial 4TB SSD
- CPU cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III pro
- Power Supply: Thermaltake 850W Gold – Fully Modular – ATX 3.1 – PCIe 5.1
-Case: Corsair 3500X ARGB

Is this fairly priced for these specs or should I look somewhere else where i can get a better prebuilt PC for the same price? Would you also recommend any other changes to this pc?
