Rtx 5080 and the Ryzen 9800x3D build.

[Aeducan123]

Hello, I already have the above components (I am building a new 4k gaming PC).

I need some advice on the rest of the build, I need hardware capable of strong gaming and streaming e.g. 32/48 or 64gb of RAM and a case big enough to fit the 5080.

Air cooling is a must, I don’t trust liquid cooled because of the leak and damage risk.

I am also looking for the best 27 inch monitor to match. I know 27 inches is small for 4k but I am shortsighted or perhaps you could convince me otherwise.

Ideally I don’t want this build to go higher than £2750 although there’s some flexibility if it’s a key component.

Thank you.

Hi there I am short sighted as well and I couldn't get on with 27 inch 4k if anything I found it compounded the issue even more. Is there anywhere nearby where you can self test a 27 and a 32 inch 4k monitor.

So if you are building a 9800x3d/5080;setup and you have those components already your budget gives you a lot of leeway and plenty of options.

Get a moderately priced AM5 board for around the 200-250 mark unless you need some specific like usb4 from the x870e.

For ram get the 32/48 or 64gb variant of c30 6000 MHz ram as they will all work. You decide what size you want and there are plenty of options to choose from.

Cases take your pick Lian li vision, phanteks nv7 or nv5, antec c8 pick that you like the look of. They will all fit the 5080.

Air cooling the go thermal right peerless assassin or if you want to splash a bit more than the new noctua dh15. Most of this will come in way below your proposed budget unless you a monitor like the Asus QD oled 32 inch or say the Samsung go neo

I forgot to add the budget is including the £1700 I paid for the gpu and cpu

okay so you have about 1k for motherboard, ram, power supply, air cooler and case? Oops and a monitor.

Aye, I think it’s the monitor that’s going to be the budget buster… I mean is there really that much of a difference between the ASUs rog 32 inch monitor you mentioned or a £400-500 equivalent?
