5080 Gaming PC build help and check before I order.

[Zach213]

Hello,

It has been a long while since my last PC build so feel a little out of the loop. Please can you sanity check my build please before I hit order. Happy to change components but fixed on a 5080, the motherboard is one part I was most unsure about. My budget is roughly what my total is in the basket but happy to spend a little more or a little less. Any help or advice would be very welcome.

the motherboard is one part I was most unsure about

It is not a bad board, but:
- LAN is only 1Gb.
- 1 of the M.2 slots is only 2 lane (instead of 4).
- 4 of the rear USB ports are just USB 2.0 (though it does have 4x USB 3.x and USB Type-C).
- The VRM is not great, but adequate for the task (I wouldn't buy this to run a 16 core CPU at full whack, for example).

Similar build to what I am looking at.
