Hey everyone! It's finally time to retire my trusty old 1060 6GB after 8 years, and I'm ready to rebuild my PC. I've got a budget of around $800-900, which includes the RTX 3080 GPU I just picked up for $400. I'm looking for some guidance on the rest of the build. I was thinking about getting an i5-14400F for the CPU, but I could use some advice on that. I don't need built-in WiFi or Bluetooth for the motherboard, and I want to go with DDR5 RAM. I'm aiming for 32GB in a 2-slot setup and would like a 1TB SSD. Lastly, I just need a case that can accommodate this large GPU. Any suggestions or recommendations for what I might be missing or a better CPU option within my budget? Thanks a bunch!

Hey! Just a quick question to clarify—does your $800-900 budget include the $400 you spent on the GPU? That makes it a bit tricky if you're aiming for a DDR5 setup. You might want to consider adjusting your budget if that’s the case.
Yeah, unfortunately, the $800-900 does include the GPU. :/
