I'm looking to upgrade most of my components and wanted to get your thoughts on my new build. I already have an NVIDIA 4080 Super and a Samsung 990 Pro. Here are the main details:
1. **Motherboard**: Is the MSI X870E GAMING PLUS WIFI a good choice?
2. **Power Supply**: I have a Gigabyte AORUS ELITE P850 (850W). The final build should estimate around 615W, but would I see better efficiency with a 1000W PSU?
Please let me know if there's anything else I should consider! Thanks!

Consider swapping out the motherboard for a less expensive one that still performs as well. Plus, I found a white model that could complement your build's aesthetic better. AIO coolers can be pricier and sometimes less reliable, so think about a different CPU cooler; they usually aren't much quieter either. Also, I find 32GB of RAM sufficient for gaming, so you might not need 64GB. I’ve included a good PSU option that’s cheaper, and 850W should be more than enough for your needs—no need for a 1000W. You could save around £212 and still have great performance! Check this out: [Alternative Build](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zHLXKq).
Thanks for the tips! I'm sticking with 64GB since I play a lot of flight sims.
I’d rather spend a bit more on a motherboard with WiFi and better VRMs. What do you think?
