I took a look at your build and made some tweaks. I switched out the CPU for a similar performing one, and I opted for a different case and drive. You can check it out here: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mfChMF](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mfChMF)
If you're going for a high-end build like this, I’d recommend bumping your RAM up to 64GB. You’ll get better performance, especially for gaming and multitasking!
Yeah, that's a good point! I planned to start with 32GB and see if prices drop later for more. It should be easy to add more later.
Just a heads up, I've seen some prebuilt systems with the Ryzen 9 9800X3D and RTX 5080 for around $2500-$2600 on sites like Amazon and Newegg. Might be something to consider if you want to save a bit.
As long as your case fits my build, I'm definitely down to stick with it. I really like the aesthetics of the case I chose!
