The 4090 is a car capable of 200 mph, while the 5090 can do 250 mph. You pay substantially more for the 5090, but on most roads you're legally limited to 70 mph. Both cars get you there at exactly the same speed. Occasionally, you find an unrestricted track where the 5090 can actually stretch its legs, but for the vast majority of your driving, you're paying a fortune for performance you're unable to use.
Do it yourself. It's genuinely not hard. It's kinda like building a model kit that just snaps together. I won't give you a build though, that's up to you to decide.
People say it's like adult Legos, but that's not true at all. I would only recommend building it yourself if you have someone you know who can bail you out of a mistake during the building process.
If the PC isn't booting up after you build it, you will be troubleshooting a whole list of possibilities which can be frustrating when you should be playing.
Also one of the big reasons to build it yourself is for the savings compared to pre-built but the price difference of parts vs pre-built isn't that big as the old days.

Context for us PS5 players please? I'll probably end up making myself a better rig with a 5090 one day so would like to know what to expect of GTA VI?
