I'm putting together a new gaming PC after nine years and I've picked out some parts I'd like feedback on. Here's what I've got:
- **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
- **Cooling**: Lian Li Hydroshift II LCD-C 360N CPU Cooler
- **Fans**: Lian Li UNI Fan SL INFINITY Wireless Uni Fan, 120mm RGB
I'm primarily focusing on gaming, as well as using After Effects and Blender. Additionally, I'm looking for suggestions on a good 240Hz gaming monitor. Thanks for your help!

Your build looks solid overall! Just a heads up, the X870E motherboard might be overkill unless you're planning on expanding your NVMe storage later on. But if you love the aesthetic and quality of those parts, go for it! You’re clearly investing in some top-tier components here.

I hear you! After using a 1050Ti setup for so long, I bet you're excited to upgrade. Plus, Lian Li makes some seriously nice products!
