I'm considering putting together a gaming PC build with a budget of $2,329. Here's the breakdown of my parts and their prices (in USD):
- Mainboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B650M-E DDR5 - $132.12
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Zotac SOLID CORE - $1,233.49
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Tray - Nobox - $341.31
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 (1x32GB), 3600MHz - $278.40
- SSD: Crucial P510 1TB PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe, M.2 2280 - $200.84
- PSU: VSP VXP 1000W TGD V2 - $91.08
- Cooling: 4x Coolermaster I50 - $18.07
- Case: Leopard AX-1 ATX - $34.13
Total: $2,329.42
Could someone take a look at this and let me know if you see any issues or if there's anything I should change? Thanks a bunch!

You've got a solid build here, but I noticed you're using DDR4 RAM when your motherboard supports DDR5. Switching to DDR5 RAM could really boost your performance, but just beware—it's usually pricier! Just keep an eye on your overall budget if you decide to go that route.
Yeah, DDR5 is definitely the way to go for future-proofing! Just be ready for the price hike—it can get a bit wild.
