Hey everyone! I'm putting together a black-themed PC build with a 5080 GPU, but the costs are adding up fast! I'm wondering if the components I've picked are a good combo, especially considering I'm also going for some Yu2 speakers instead of the Razer ones. Here's my build list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X9wfC8. Any tips or suggestions?

Honestly, if you're spending $1500 on the Gigabyte 5080, you might want to consider upgrading to a different model that gives you better value for your money. It’s quite pricey for a 15% performance increase over the 5070 Ti.
You're really putting a lot towards cooling and aesthetics, like $700 for the AIO cooler, case, and fans. Consider whether you really need two 1TB SSDs; that seems excessive. I was able to save around $500 by swapping out some parts. I put together an alternative list for you to check out: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s8xKdb. It could help you balance performance and cost better!
Thanks a lot! This is a whole lot better, but I already bought the GPU unfortunately.
