How is this 3000 series build?

[mickyflinn]

The issue is my main game only uses one core, and I think Intel is still better than that than AMD. Thank you for the advice regarding the PSU. What if I possibly want to overclock, would it be good to get the 1000W PSU?

Honestly, if this site had the availability of the 2080Ti, I would take a build with that in as it would save me a lot. However, this site only has the 2070 available (which may not be good value for money), so I thought I might as well order a build with a 3080; as I think this at least beats the next gen consoles.

is just enough imo the 10900k draws a lot of power at peak loads.

3080 is 350w, 10900k 250 to 300w fully loaded then there's the rest ,

850w would be the minimum I would reccomened in a 10900k system, the 1000w gives you slightly more options.

Your money your choice.

Intel won't lead against Zen3 CPUs with lots of its changes aimed at improving single threaded performance:

That single core performance and manual overclocking are somewhat mutually exclusive nowadays:
If temperatures and power limits (something not followed by Intels) allow CPUs automatically boost the most heavily loaded cores.
In case of AMD you really can't push high core count models high enough to match automatic boost clocks.

nah... a good 750 will run this setup no problem
