New Build - any good?

[Swedishchef_uk]

I think that the rx 9070 xt is great value for money anx not noticably slower than a 5080 in many cases.

That was my original thought. But a few people suggested the 5080 was a step up. This will need to last me a fair few years and I am lucky enough to have the money now. So I tried a new build based on that. Knowing me, likely overkill!

Could save £50 by swapping the case to the Lian li Lancool 216 RGB, but of course cases are a more personal preference.

Good shout - thank you

Looks like the Asus ROG STRIX B850 is available, so have swapped that in. Seems ok?

One thing - have tried a few other sites and their configure tools always ask if I want a soundcard. No mention of it here. I'm assuming it should all be ok?
