I've been saving up to build my first PC and got some help putting together this build. I wanted to see if this setup is good or if there are any potential issues I should be aware of before I move forward. My budget is between $2000 and $2500. Here's the breakdown of the parts I'm looking at:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
- **CPU Cooler**: ARCTIC Freezer 36 CPU Cooler
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard
- **Memory**: Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
- **Storage**: Kingston NV3 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
- **Video Card**: MSI VENTUS 3X OC PLUS GeForce RTX 5080 16 GB Video Card
- **Case**: Montech XR ATX Mid Tower Case
- **Power Supply**: Montech CENTURY II 1050 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Total cost is about €2082.98. Are there any major concerns with this setup?

Honestly, you might consider going for a 5070 Ti to save some cash. Besides that, since you're in Austria, check out geizhals.at for better deals since it lists all the shops. Overall, your build looks solid. Just swap the CPU cooler for something like a Thermalright Royal Knight or a PA 120. Also, 1050 watts is more than you need; a good 750 to 850 watt power supply would be more than sufficient.
I’m also a newbie and I think it's great that you don’t want to cut corners! The 5080 will definitely give you top performance. Be sure to check the specs on your case to see if it can accommodate that GPU easily if you're planning to upgrade later. As for the PCPartPicker warnings, it’s good to look them over—if you need help understanding those, just ask!
