AMD Ryzen 9 7900 + RTX 4080 build

Hi everyone,
I've been a laptop user for the past decade, but as I'm now finally setting in and mobility isn't that important anymore, I'm considering to build my first PC. Though I'm not exactly new to the gaming PC environment, this would be my first rig, so I'm seeking for as much advise as possible. Would the build below work? Could I cheap out on any of the components? My goals would be primarily for gaming at 4K120Hz, but I'd also use it for coding / data analytics (Python, R, Excel, Power BI, and so on). Here's the build:
PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QCHYnt
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900 3.6 GHz 12-Core Processor ($419.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus PRIME B650-PLUS ATX AM5 Motherboard ($169.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5600 CL36 Memory ($84.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($79.98 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Asus TUF GAMING GeForce RTX 4080 16 GB Video Card ($1180.00 @ B&H)
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox NR600 (w/o ODD) ATX Mid Tower Case ($99.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 - V2 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($119.99 @ B&H)
Total: $2154.93
I purposedly left the motherboard in blank as I'm still looking into it. My current option is the ASUS B650-Plus, but I didn't decide on it yet. Should I look for something specific other than the size and if it's compatible with the AMD CPU?
Edit: I really don't care about RGB. The less the better.

That's cool. I actually just bought this set up. R9 7900x, 4080, 32gb DDR6X RAM though. It is a beast! I haven't played a game that wasn't running perfectly at maxed out settings.
I hope your new PC kicks ass. I know you got other things when you actually bought it, but the things you were looking into is what I bought. $2100 pre built.

Hey bud I also bought a right with a 7900x ryzen 9 with a 4080gpu and 870 prime Asus motherboard and Kingston 32gb 2 16gb and at first it was playing games amazingly. I was told by many this setup is a beast but now I'm lucky to get 50fps on max settings on games. You wouldn't have any information that would help me would you? I know this is an old thread but I just came across it. Thanks.

Hey, nice rig. I'm not sure without being there. Mine is running 120fps with Max settings on most every game I have tried. Is there something else taking up your CPU or GPU? Maybe defrag?

PCs where I live are stupid expensive and a new pre built version of this on sale is around 3000$, and I’m thinking about buying it from someone second hand for 2500$ but I’m a bit scared

I set it up myself and it was way cheaper than getting a pre build. I'd say it's at least worth checking on it and it's also very fun to build your own machine :)

I know this is 6 months old but I hope you or somebody can help me. I have a ryzen 9 7900x and a tuf gaming rtx 4080 gpu with dram 32 gigs and on ultra settings I am in the 40 fps range hardly any higher. I've been told this set up should at least get 60fps on ultra setting even more. You are saying on ultra you are getting great fps as you say this setup is a beast. This is a new pc and it really sucks I'm Going through this. It was a lot of money. I'm kind of new to pc gaming. Can anybody help with what could be the cause here? I'd very so greatful!!🙏🏻

What games are you playing? What is the resolution? Are you using upscalling technologies such as DLSS? The more info you provide, the more we'll be able to help!

American Truck Simulator, silent hill2, Alan wake just a few. Yes using dlss. It's brand new system. V sync on and off still same outcome. When I first got it, the fps were really good. But now not so much. I always use 4k. This system should be able to at least do 4k at 60fps. It used to at more. Nvidia drivers always up to date. Don't know if I mentioned the motherboard or not. It's a prime x 670. Did I mention the gpu, cpu,and dram specs? I believe I did. This system should be more than capable. Thank you for reaching out by the way!
