Hey everyone! I'm working on a gaming PC build with a budget of 2500€ and I'm aiming for an almost all-white setup that can handle 1440p gaming at over 100 fps. I mainly play games like Hogwarts Legacy, RDR2, and Minecraft with shaders. My current laptop is getting really old, so I want something solid for the future. I've put together a list of parts, which you can check out here: [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zktYDj). I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether everything will work together or if you have any suggestions! Thanks in advance!

You might not need to spend so much on the CPU and GPU for those games at 1440p. A good mid-range CPU around 100€ and a GPU around 549€ would handle those titles at 100+ fps just fine.
It really depends on your graphics settings. Red Dead Redemption 2 is quite demanding, especially on high settings.
Just a heads up, which country are you in? Using the US version of PCPartPicker might not give accurate pricing for parts in Europe. But your parts should fit together nicely! Also, I recommend checking other RAM alternatives since Corsair can be pricier.
I'm in Spain. I used PCPartPicker since I've seen others use it. Prices here seem close to what I'm seeing. Good point about the RAM! I picked Corsair for its look and because it's a popular brand.
Your build looks really good, especially for the games you're planning to play! You won't have many problems with performance. It's pretty much perfect for 1440p at high settings.
Thanks! I really want it to be future-proof, so I won't need to upgrade for a while.
Your choice of a Ryzen 9800x3d and a 5080 is solid. The RAM looks fine for gaming, and the MSI case is definitely a great option. I’d say you're all set!
Thanks! I think the MSI case is super stylish!
Have you thought about going with a 5070 TI instead of the 5080? It’s a better deal if you're primarily gaming at 1440p unless you need that extra power for 4K.
I was actually considering the 5070 TI, but I found a good deal on the 5080 and it was only a slight increase in price. What’s the main difference between the two?

I get that, but I'm trying to make sure this builds lasts me at least 5-6 years. Do you think those cheaper parts will keep up in a few years?
