Hey everyone! I'm putting together a new gaming rig and I'm planning to reuse some SSDs and HDDs: I've got 2 Kingston A2000 250GB NVMe M.2 SSDs and a Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" HDD. My main focus is on 4K gaming, looking for at least 60Hz for heavier titles and 120-144Hz for lighter games like CS2 and League of Legends. I'm a bit unsure about the compatibility of all the components and if I have the right connectors. I've already purchased the PNY GeForce RTX 5080 but I'm considering returning it if my setup isn't right. Here's the full list of my build:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2GHz 104MB
GPU: PNY GeForce RTX 5080 16GB
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850-Plus WIFI
Memory: Kingston 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 FURY Beast Svart AMD EXPO/XMP 3.0
PSU: ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W Gold ATX 3.1
Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE black
Case: Fractal Design North black
Also, someone mentioned switching to a memory with 6000CL32 for half the price. Would that be a smarter choice? Really grateful for any insights you can share!
Edit: Made a correction, previously wrote 6000CL33 instead of 6000CL32.

That's an awesome build! Your setup should definitely handle most games at 4K, potentially going beyond 60Hz. I have a similar rig, and I get around 170 FPS on story-driven games, and over 600 FPS on competitive titles like CS2 and Valorant. As for the memory, I would suggest going with the CL33 if it’s significantly cheaper—the performance difference is really minor, you won't regret it.
Just a quick question about that RAM—are you sure about the CL33? It's not a common spec to see.
nIf you meant CL32, that's more standard. Could affect performance subtly, but the difference might not be noticeable in real-world use.
