Spec me a Ryzen 5 5600X based build?

[woofercooker]

Hi, i'm looking to upgrade my current rig, can anybody spec me a build based on the 5600x, I always worry i will pick the wrong mobo/ram etc, I need to order, cpu,mobo,ram and psu, Currently have a 1080ti but plan to upgrade to something like a 3080 when prices come down so need a psu that will be compatible. Thanks' in advance!

Mobo with Wi-Fi if but if not needed change to the b550 tomahawk, quiet cpu cooler and 750w psu is ideal for a 3080 anything above that 850w.

If you can stretch i would get a 5800x 8 core.

+1 for the build above, good choices. I'd also consider a more powerful PSU as a future investment, as it's typically the component you move to an upgrade years later. But it's not a big deal at all if you don't.

Was going to say crucial p5 nvme has faster speed for same price, but price gone up again. Love to know how they decide these thing..few days ago it was £75, yesterday £89 and today £120.
You can get the rm850 for £89 on offer at mo away(might give some headroom for future upgrades as psu has 10yrs warranty so should last a few builds)

A couple of cases if you want rgb. Again, prices go up and down like a yoyo on some of these. 5000x you can get away for 119 at mo.
3600 c16 will be slightly faster ram, but costs more of course and unless you benchmarking, you won't notice difference

Take my vote for the Corsair RM850 if you want to get a 3080. An excellent PSU.
