Do you actually need a RTX 3090 though? There's only going to be about 15% theoretical difference in performance delta vs the 3080 for over twice the cost.
An 3080 will be able to play most if not all games maxed out at 4K. Nvidia even advertises the 3080 running on all their promos, which says a lot. We haven't seen the performance of the 3090 yet.
If you buy a 3080 now there's less risk since you can sell the card for at 90%+ (or even full value if the mining craze continues), when Nvidia decides to launch the 3080Ti. But in the end its your decision :P
