what cpu .......

[chili]

As above i am thinking of building my 1st watercooled pc, which will probably be my last build due to age etc, i was just going to mod the pc i already use but thought a change is as good as a rest.
The gpu i am looking to use is a 3080, i know i will have a long wait but i am not sure what cpu would best match the gpu in terms of avoiding bottlenecks in performance. I currently have a ryzen5 3600. The pc would be mainly used for gaming, abit of video editing and browsing the web. The watercooled kit i am currently looking at is corsairs, if that makes a difference.

cheers

thanks for the input, i have an msi b450 tomahawk max mobo so that may need upgrading too as for the case i have a be quiet silent base 601, whatever i build its going to be water cooled will probably be soft pipe loop

Depends what you're playing. At 4k (I'm guessing that's why you want a 3080) you'll likely see no improvement whatsoever by waxing 400 quid on a 5800x. Unless you're going for super high fps (like 144hz and up).

yeah my monitor is 165mhz
