what options do i have?

Open to any side here:

Currently my work/gaming rig is working pretty well,
but for some Gaming Titles GPU usage is dropping below 90% (AC odyessy) (RDR2 is a solid 100%) can se this possibly having issues with upcoming multiplayer games like BF2042

just wondering what upgrade path i can look at going in the future?
I would need to still run 4 or more NVME drives & 3090 so, do i still need to look at TR?/Xeon or are there anything come in the pipeline that's semi-workstation based? with Perf/PCI-E with better price ratio

believe 5000s is still 24 lanes?

i don't earn money from this computer its more hobby based work.

Resolution: 4K 120hz

currently have:
2950X @ 4250mhz on all cores
32GB 3333Mhz 13-13-13-33 (TR wont stable over this)
3090 MSI Gaming X (undervolted to 0.850mV running 1920Mhz at 68c)
6x NVME 1TB Drives
1x 250GB NVME

Wouldn't you be better off separating the use case here? If you build something just for gaming all you need to buy is regular consumer stuff, no need to worry about fitting all those drives.

my work use case needs a Fast GPU with loads of memory & very fast I/O... so would basically be double the price
