Hey everyone! I'm putting together a PC for my girlfriend, primarily for graphic design work like AutoCAD, Autodesk 3ds Max, and Photoshop, and I could really use your feedback. I've got a spare GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GAMING OC 12GB to use as the centerpiece of this build, and we already have the monitor.
Here's the build I'm considering: [PC Part Picker Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nJTzyF). I'm particularly worried about the RAM, the CPU cooler, and the motherboard, but I'd appreciate any suggestions beyond just the video card. Thanks!

Overall, the build looks good! Just a heads-up on the PSU; it might be a bit close to the limit. I'd recommend an 850W unit just to be safe, but everything else seems like it will make a great system for her.
Your RAM choice is solid—64GB is impressive! But I noticed the CPU cooler is a bit pricey for an air cooler; maybe consider switching to an AIO for better performance. The motherboard looks great too, so overall, this build should work flawlessly for graphic design!
Thanks for the quick feedback! I thought I might have overlooked the cooler situation. And yeah, RAM prices are crazy right now!
I appreciate the advice! Can you explain why you think an 850W is better? The estimated wattage is around 650W.
