This list right here matches what is considered top of the line components right now. I would even call it “overkill”.
What games does your daughter usually play? Because even for modern games, you do not need a 5090 or 4090 graphics card to play 4K max settings. A 4080 or 5080 is enough.
Same with the CPU. You can also change the 9950X3D for a 9800X3D and that would be very future proof.
As for the RAM, usually with 32GB, you are perfectly safe for high-end gaming, but the prices have gone down in the past year and you might as well put 64GB in there.
Storage is fine. It’s pricey, but one less headache since games nowadays take too much space. More SSDs can be connected if she needs more space later on.
The monitor is one thing I fully agree on. It’s OLED and very expensive, but having bought one myself, I don’t see me coming back to a LED display.
The case is all about personal taste and ease of assembling the computer.
And the motherboard and PSU can be paired back if the CPU and/or GPU are also paired back.
Overall, it’s your decision. I just wanted to communicate that a good gaming PC doesn’t need to cost you three months’ worth of salary. But if you don’t want to change anything, you can be assured that you’re buying her the very best consumer components at this time. But know that you can give her “4K Max Settings” for way less money.

Good to know that then! I’ll look for a MemCard PRO as others suggested when I eventually expand my setup to unify both of my MemoryCards.

As far as longevity goes, I have been using the same 8MB official MemoryCard from a launch PS2 my dad bought, with no issues ever. If you have a big collection of games you might run out of space eventually, but deleting save files is pretty easy in the system OS.
I bought a separate 8MB official MemoryCard to install FreeMCBoot on a few years back, but I haven’t used it to save any files. It should work the same, though, despite having the Homebrew on it.
If you live in Europe you can buy all sorts of MemoryCards at CeX, asking in the counter as they usually don’t display them. I guess anywhere else where they sell and buy second hand games they have MemoryCards too.
I haven’t tried any third party ones like MadCatz or the new MicroSD ones, maybe someone else can share their experience :)
