Hey everyone! I'm about to finalize my first custom-built PC and I'd love to get your opinions before I lock everything in. This rig will mainly be used for competitive shooters, Monster Hunter World, and some big open-world gacha games, plus streaming! Here's what I've got so far:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 4.7GHz, 8-core processor
- CPU Cooler: Thermalright Grand Vision ARGB 69 CFM liquid cooler
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite WiFi7, ATX AM5
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance DDR5, 2x16GB in white
- Storage: Biwin Black Opal NV7400, 4TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVMe SSD
- Video Card: Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 5080 Master Ice
- Case: Antec C5 ARGB ATX mid-tower case
- PSU: Lian Li SX1000P, 1000W 80+ Platinum modular ATX
- RGB Cable Sleeves: AsiaHorse ARGB PSU Cable sleeves
If you have suggestions for changes or additions, please let me know! Thanks in advance! 😀

Your build looks solid! Most of the components are great, but you might not need that liquid cooler unless you're really into aesthetics. Have you considered a 5070 Ti? It offers about 85-90% of the performance of the 5080 for a much lower price, which is often a better bang for your buck if you have a budget to stick to. But if you really want the 5080, I totally get it; it’s a nice card!
I get that, but I love the look of LCD AIOs too! They just make the build feel premium. Plus, I think the 5080 has a nice design that matches my setup perfectly!
