I'm looking for feedback on my current PC build and whether there's any room for improvement without exceeding a budget of $3,000. My build currently totals around $2,800, factoring in Norwegian prices. Here's what I've got:
- **Case:** Lian Li O11 Mini V2
- **Motherboard:** MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WIFI
- **CPU:** Ryzen 7 7800x3d
- **CPU Cooler:** Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB
- **GPU:** Sapphire RX 9070XT Nitro+ 16GB
- **RAM:** 32 GB (16x2) Corsair Vengeance 6000hz CL30
- **Storage:** 990 Pro 2TB
- **PSU:** Corsair RM850e (2025) ATX 3.1 Gold 850W
- **Case Fans:** 5x Arctic P12 Pro Reverse A-RGB and 1x Arctic P12 Pro A-RGB
I'm considering a fan configuration of 2x Reverse on the side, 3x Reverse on the bottom, and 1x Normal in the back. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to ask!

For a $3,000 budget, I recommend aiming for at least a 9800x3d and a 5080 if you're considering aesthetics and performance. I've seen prebuilt systems with those specs for around $2,000, so it may be worth looking into alternatives that fit within your budget better.
Before we dive into improvements, can you confirm if your budget is indeed $3,000 USD? Also, is this build primarily for gaming? That context can really help with suggestions!
Yes, my budget is $3,000 and it's for gaming. If you think my build isn't optimal for that, I’d appreciate any tips on how to enhance it!
I've looked for options combining the 5080 and the 9800x3d, but they seem to go over my budget limit.
