I'm considering a PC build with a budget of about $3000 and would love some feedback before I go ahead and purchase all the components. Here's the link to my planned build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZscFNz. Are there any improvements or suggestions you would recommend?

Honestly, I'd advise against getting the RTX 5080 for $1500 when you could grab a 5070 Ti for around $800, which offers about 10% less performance. It's just not great value. That said, if you're excited about this build, go for it! Just keep in mind the cost.
If I were in your shoes, I’d opt for a 1000W power supply instead. It's not that your current choice is weak, I just think it would be a good precaution considering your budget. Better to have a bit of extra headroom, right?
I have a few suggestions for you:
1. Get faster CL28 RAM for better performance.
2. Choose a BTF case and motherboard for cleaner cable management.
3. Opt for a well-reviewed SSD.
4. A Lian Li PSU would help with cable management and aesthetics.
5. Grab some Thermalright reverse fans for the bottom intake; they daisy-chain easily.

Your build looks good overall! I definitely recommend investing in a 4K OLED monitor to match that powerful PC. It’s a game-changer for visuals. If you can stretch to it, the OLED version is especially stunning and can deliver high refresh rates too.
Isn’t that motherboard a bit weaker, though?
