Hey everyone! I'm putting together a new PC and I want to make sure I do it right. I have a budget of around $3,000 (give or take a bit) and I've already decided on my CPU and GPU. I'm planning to go with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D or 9850X3D for the CPU, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 for the GPU. Now, I'm struggling with choosing the other components and I'd love some guidance. Here's what I'm looking for:
1. **Cooling**: I prefer a liquid cooler with a 360mm radiator.
2. **Case**: I want something that's as quiet as possible.
3. **Case Fan**: I need fans that are both quiet and effective.
4. **Motherboard**: I think I'd like a B850 board with WiFi 6E and 2.5 GbE LAN.
5. **Storage**: I need a 2TB NVMe SSD.
6. **Memory**: I want at least 32GB of DDR5 RAM, preferably in dual channel.
7. **Power Supply**: An 850W power supply sounds good, but I'm open to suggestions.
If I've missed any components or you have recommendations, please let me know! Thanks in advance for your help!

With your budget, I think you can afford to get top-notch parts. How about this build: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V3NCJw)? I picked a great 360mm cooler that won't break the bank and a case that's super quiet. The Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE should meet all your needs with plenty of future upgrade potential!
You're the goat. Thanks!
You definitely want a good cooler. Consider the Arctic AIO for a budget-friendly yet effective 360mm option. For case fans, check out Noctua; they’re a bit pricier, but you can't beat their quiet performance! As for RAM, look for 2x16GB sticks at 6000MHz CL30 if possible. Also, don’t forget thermal paste for the cooler—it’s essential!
Thanks so much for this info!
