General outline for my build is a:
Ryzen 5900x
32gb DDR4 3600mhz ram
RTX 3080
1/2 TB PCie4.0 M2 Nvme for OS/games.
1TB PCie3.0 m2 from old system
3 x Sata SSD drives from old system

General advice that i need is for the following:
Motherboard that suits the above, to get most out of the main OS drive and graphics, heard some share lanes. Price upto £200.
PSU: is 850w enough? If so any recommendations on brands? - current is a 3 year old EVGA G3 850w unsure if i should reuse and save a little?
Ram - is it better to get 2x16gb or 4x8gb to get best performance and any recommendations on which to get upto £200.
360mm AIO any recommendations on this for CPU cooling aswell?

Thanks all :)
 
Thanks again all for the replies. If i dropped to a b550 board i could potentially pick up a msi gaming edge for £95, which means more money for other areas in the build i guess aslong as isn't much of a downgrade over the x570 tomahawk? My aim was for this system to last at least for the next 5 years before i next plan to upgrade.
Is the 5800x better suited to gaming or is it more of a better cost/performance over the 5900x? I was originally looking at the 5950x but just read its completely overkill for my needs and not really suited to gaming at all.
 
Yes, was the gaming edge wifi which arrived today :) The build has begun, just to search for the rest of the components needed now
