I'm making this part list now, but it would strongly behoove you to check again closer to your build date.

I'm assuming you'll have access to a Microcenter since there's a couple in Georgia. If so that'll save you $60 on a CPU/Mobo combo.

This build is centered around the 2080 ti. If you're playing at 4k the GPU matters infinitely more than the CPU. I would've preferred the higher clocked 2700x, but the 2700 is $80 cheaper. I know you won't be overclocking, but if you ever change your mind you can upgrade the cooler and get near 2700x performance with an overclock.

This monitor isn't ideal, but at least it's IPS, Freesync, and 4k. To upgrade the monitor at all would require downgrading the GPU, which is counter-productive.
