I'm looking to put together a gaming PC with a budget of £2,500. I want to include an RTX 5080 graphics card and an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU. Could anyone suggest the rest of the components I'll need while staying within budget? I'll mainly be playing AAA titles as well as Valorant. Thanks in advance!

You might want to consider a different SSD; the 990 EVO Plus is a bit pricey without a DRAM cache. Maybe look into a Crucial T500 for better performance at a lower price!
Do you think the Corsair H100i cooler I have would work well with the 9800X3D?
