I'm trying to make my PC build cheaper. I'm aiming for a budget-friendly RTX 4080, preferably overclocked, and I need a solid CPU since I plan to use this for 3D modeling and expect it to handle games like GTA 6 at 120 FPS. Here's the current build I'm looking at: [link to parts list]. Any tips on how to lower the overall cost?

I have a 4TB SSD that I can sell for a good price. I bought it in September, but I recently upgraded to a Gen 5 last week. Just keep in mind shipping might be pricey if you're in the Middle East.
The RTX 4080 is pretty much out of production, and prices are skyrocketing. You might want to consider a 5070 Ti instead, as it offers similar performance. Or check out the 5080—it's around 15-20% faster than the 4080. Both should help save you some cash!
For the 5080, do you have any affordable brand recommendations?
A lot of the parts you mentioned are last-gen and often overpriced. It could be helpful to set a solid budget and start fresh with a new build. That way, you can explore options that fit within your price range better. If you’re looking at around $1500 to $1700, there's definitely potential for a solid setup!
I can't access Discord for help. Can you assist me with some suggestions within my budget?

Yeah, shipping costs could be a deal-breaker from here.
