Hi all,
So been trying to get a 3080 FE all year and somehow got one a couple of weeks ago. Really bad timing as I'm currently decorating a few rooms so limited with my spare time. Still I've throw money at the problem and just want to make sure I've been somewhat sensible:
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB 48.8 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
MSI MPG X570S CARBON MAX WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard
Team Dark Pro 8PACK Edition 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory
Western Digital Black SN850 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10 GB Founders Edition Video Card
Case ?!?
SeaSonic FOCUS GX 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
6x ARCTIC P12 PST A-RGB 0dB 48.8 CFM 120 mm Fan
Still need to source a case to fit all this - likely to be a O11 variant (sorry), but any suggestions are welcome.
I think the spec is sound and might have spent a little more here or there but think it all works well together. Could have gone for a 5800X, but the 5900X feels better 'value for money' right now. Mobo is a bit overkill but thought the extra quality was worth it as doubt I'll change platforms until DDR5 matures and expect just a GPU upgrade within the next 5 years. I guess I need a big, slow storage SSD/HDD as well...
Still need to get a monitor (probably get a LG OLED 48C2 when out), keyboard and mouse (Logitech I suspect).
EDIT: Forgot to say what its for, mostly gaming but will be using it for software dev and hopefully 3D printing. Want something to be used daily, but will want to get it OCed to a sensible, stable level for 'fun'.
