Thoughts on parts list
Posted by JustSaucey1335@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Finally got a full time job so I really want to go all out building a new PC. This’ll mainly be for playing games like Tarkov, Marvel Rivals, and black myth wukong. This is what I ended up with for right now any thoughts? I already have the 9800x3d and the 5080 is on its way.

Changes made and other recs.
Cooler: it's fine but the lian li and Arctic are the performance champs so unless you absolutely love the aesthetics you can go with those
Mobo: unless you're going to use top tier pcei5 storage and external fast storage needing usb4 then x870 is pointless over b650
RAM: 6k CL30 is the way
PSU: quality and cheaper
Screen: got you into an OLED for within $100

I just built my first pc too! I think you can do it a bit cheaper than you are, and focus money more on where it will make a difference. Your monitor is not good enough to take advantage of the 5080. Especially with frame gen and on AAA games like marvel rivals, you want 4K 240hz, preferably oled. 5080msrp is 1000$, I know the market is crazy but you can do way better than 1800. Check Facebook marketplace and Micro Center if you have them nearby. Otherwise, patience will pay off. Also, get a atx 3.1 Psu please :)
Congrats on the new build :D you’re going to have a blast.

What was said about the power supply being older and getting a newer and better one
You're spending money on the motherboard and ssd that won't make a difference in any game. Save a few bucks.
Spend 10 bucks on getting a better monitor.

Your power supply does not have a native 12v 2x6 cable and is an older corsair revision. I would highly suggest a mote modern power supply.
Your ram will not rin at those speeds without manually tuning down your speeds more than likely. From 6400 to 6000.
