There isn't much to comment on for top end parts. We cant' suggest better as that doesn't exist, and we can't suggest value as that would be counter-productive.
Do you have any specific questions or concerns? Can you provide any context to your workloads, or why you chose those parts?

the biggest dilemma around the parts have been choosing if the price jump from the 5070 ti to the 5080 is worth it, also, the motherboard having less usb ports than the chassi isnt a problem right? other than that im just posting to see if someone spots any issue that i havent, just to be sure.

If this is for gaming:
Why you have a 9950X3D instead of a 9800X3D or 9850X3D?
That NVMe drives benefits you none for gaming over any Gen3/4 NVMe.
PSU is insanely overkill for no benefit.
Cooler is overkill, you're paying for aesthetics here
You could likely save a bunch of money here and get a 5080 in the build for less money than what you have now.
I have no idea, how many USB devices do you need? The number of USB ports is only relevant for the number of USB devices you have.

This guy is spittin' right here:
Drop down to a 9800x3d
That SSD is wildly expensive for a 2tb option, look at Crucial for far better value over Samsung right now. I am a fan of the P310 but there are plenty of other great options.
with a 1500w PSU you could run 2 of these systems with a good chunk of extra wattage left over, 850w is more than enough for this PC.
Motherboard, case and cooler are very overkill, you could spend half that amount and never notice the difference. Grab what you have picked if you are ok burning hundreds on what the PC looks like when you glance over at it
Make these changes, grab the 5080 over the 5070ti and you will still be saving hundreds of dollars.

there is a difference of 4 cores on the 9900x and the 9950x3d and 8 threads, ( the 9900x price is almost the same as the 9800x so im considering that one instead) will this greatly affect gaming performance or is it more about the frequency when it comes to games?

For gaming not at all, the X3D CPUs are kind of the "gaming" line from AMD. Games care very little about extra cores, but love L3 cache.
The 9900x has the "normal" amount of L3 cache, the same amount as a far cheaper option like the 9600x. In gaming these perform nearly the same most of the time.
The 9800x3d has 3x the amount of L3 cache and games can LOVE that. Some games its a marginal improvement at best, other games it can halve the frame time over something like the 9900x. Games like Tarkov, Squad, Star citizen can have 2x the FPS over non-x3d CPUs.
If you were mostly doing productivity work like video editing or 3d modeling the 9900x would make more sense, if mostly gaming the 9800x3d is pretty much a no-brainer tbh.

Alright, thank you very much
tobbelito9@reddit (OP)
thank you very much, ill try changing the parts up a bit
tobbelito9@reddit (OP)
workloads is only high end gaming with 4k planned later when i get a new monitor

Not much to say with no context on why you're considering those parts.
