Hey everyone! I'm getting back into PC gaming and I'm looking for some solid advice on my build. I'm aiming to spend around €2500 but I might go a bit over if there are some great upgrades worth it. I've done some research, but I'd love to get your input to make sure everything checks out. Here's my proposed build:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor - €449
- **CPU Cooler**: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB - €105.90
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B850 GAMING WIFI6 ATX AM5 - €157.90
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 - €134.90
- **Storage**: Crucial P3 Plus 4 TB M.2 NVMe SSD - €214.98
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC SFF GeForce RTX 5080 - €1019
- **Case**: Antec FLUX PRO ATX Full Tower - €199.73
- **Power Supply**: MSI A1000G PCIE5 1000 W 80+ Gold - €134.89
Total comes to €2416.30 (prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts). Thanks in advance for any feedback!

I noticed you're using the Crucial P3 Plus SSD. It's good, but it uses QLC flash, which isn’t as durable and tends to slow down after a few years. You might want to consider a TLC SSD instead, like the Transcend MTE250S or TeamGroup MP44. They’re more reliable in the long run!
Your build looks solid! If you're within budget, I'd recommend bumping the RAM up to 64GB. It could help with future-proofing, especially if you multitask a lot while gaming. But honestly, 32GB is still great for gaming, so it’s really up to you!
Thanks for the input! I read that 64GB isn't really necessary for gaming. What benefits do you see from going with 64GB?
I appreciate the tip! I actually couldn’t find the SN580 on PCPartPicker. Think the SN850X would be a solid upgrade?
