Your build looks solid overall! Just a little tip: with such high-end components, I’d recommend investing in a better monitor down the line. You want something that matches the power of your RTX 5080 for the best gaming experience.
I plan to upgrade the monitor eventually, but I’m trying to maximize what I can use from my previous setup first.
