I'm in the process of building a new gaming PC after 9 years with my old setup. Below are the components I've chosen, and I'd love any feedback on them. I'm also looking for recommendations on a good 240Hz gaming monitor. Thanks a lot!
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO
- **Graphics Card**: Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 MASTER
- **Memory**: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB (2x16GB) PC5-48000 (6000MHz) DDR5
- **SSD**: Samsung 4TB SSD, 990 PRO, M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0
- **Case**: Lian Li O11 DYNAMIC MINI V2 FLOW ATX Case
- **Power Supply**: Lian Li Edge EG1000 1000W Black Power Supply, 80 PLUS Gold, Cybenetic Platinum
- **CPU Cooling**: Lian Li Hydroshift II LCD-C 360N CPU Cooler

This build is mainly for gaming, After Effects, and occasional Blender projects. I'm really excited about this project, so any input would be appreciated!

Your build looks solid overall! Just a heads-up, the X870E motherboard might be a bit overkill for your needs, plus it might limit NVMe expansion in the future compared to the B850. But if aesthetics and quality matter, go for it!
I totally get it! Wanting a nice-looking rig is important, especially after coming from an older setup. I've been loving Lian Li gear too!
