New build looking for advice

Hi, Here is the basket of products I chose for my build. I'm looking for advice about not overpaying for the products but have enough quality products under the 5080 graphics card.
The case and fans and AIO cooling I already have.

Thanks for any help !!!


Case Phanteks Nv9
Fans Phanteks 140mm 8x
AIO Phanteks 140mm
that's your build, just to make it easier for people to see...you had 2 psu's in there
My basket at OcUK:

Total: £1,043.92 (includes delivery: £0.00)

if just gaming you could go for a b850 board...so depends if you need usb4 really or the extra pcie lanes for prob some faster usb...

 
went for a b850 board...added a 2tb m.2 also as you didn't have one...don't know if that's needed...the b850 only has 3 m.2 slots though, and you loose the led debug display..so there are differences..no rgb on board either if you care about that..but will run the 9800x3d fine, and still has wifi7 etc...i do like a led debug display myself...depends if you just want a gigabyte board

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £1,025.87 (includes delivery: £0.00)​
 
Hi thanks for the edit and your suggestions. I don't care about the LEDs on the motherboard. I have a Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD - SFYRS/1000G - Read 7300MB/s, Write 6000MB/s
but I will be buying an additional drive for this configuration. And what is the matter with the 5080 is said to be burning my colleague resall card and the guy told him after two weeks gpu burned out I have no idea apropo manufacturers currently. I stopped at 1080 gtx :D

I haven't heard anything specific about the 5080, but since the 4000 cards nvidia have almost exclusively used the 12/16 pin connector on their cards, known as 12VHPWR or updated version: 12V-2x6.

Nvidia claim that there's nothing wrong with this connector and we're just dummies that plug it in wrong, but the consensus (including the opinion of the more learned among us, like buildzoid) is that this connector is just bad (primarily the lack of safety margin) and is always going to be prone to problems until it is ditched entirely.

That said, 99% of the reports are for high-end cards, so it is probably alright at lower wattages, where the safety margin is less of an issue.

The 3000 cards used a different design where the pins were load balanced which mitigated the worst characteristics of this connector, but for reasons unknown nvidia stopped doing this on later cards.

Example videos from two YouTubers who have covered it:



Some AIB models have mitigations in place (like the Astral).

If you want to avoid the connector, most (not all!) 9070/9070 XT cards don't use it and almost all of nvidia's 4070 non-Super do not use it.

What you have is fine. You could save money on the motherboard and go for X870 or B850, but I don't know what features you want/need.
