I'm new to building PCs and have done some research, but I really need some input on my parts list. Is this setup decent for multitasking and can it handle gaming at 1440p? I'm especially having trouble deciding on the GPU and CPU. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Here's the link to my parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bQ2H6Q

If you're not in a rush, it might be worth waiting until January 6th for the announcement of the Super line. The new cards, like the 5070 Ti Super and 5080 Super, are likely to be priced similarly to the current models but with significantly more video memory—around 6-8GB extra. That could really enhance your gaming experience!
Consider getting a more budget-friendly AIO cooler instead of the Corsair one you have. The Thermalright options are often just as good but less expensive for your 9800X3D. Also, aim for a RAM kit that’s around $300; you don’t really need the faster C30 when C36 at 6000 mt/s will do just fine. Additionally, I’d recommend getting a single 4TB SSD—it’s cheaper and more efficient than two separate 2TB ones. With the savings, you could opt for a more powerful RTX 5080 or just keep the difference for later upgrades.
