Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building a $2500 gaming PC that I hope can handle graphically intense games like Dead Air Vector (DAV) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2). I'm really into modding as well. I'm trying to decide between the 5070 Ti (with a slight 6% overclock) or jumping straight to the 5080. My setup includes a 4K monitor, and I'm not planning on getting new accessories like a keyboard or headset. I'd love to hear your thoughts and any advice on my selected parts. Thanks a lot! Just a side note, I prefer not to overclock manually; I plan to use the components as they are sold to me.

Just some tweaks: I switched your motherboard to a non-ASRock model, added two 2TB SSDs, and replaced the 256GB drive since it's older and slower. Opt for 4.0 drives instead of 3.0, and don't bother with 5.0—they're not really worth the cost. Also, I upgraded to the 5080 and found a better case option that's more cost-effective than the Fractal you chose. Let me know what you think!
Why the switch to a non-ASRock motherboard? I heard they have some problems, and I'm curious if that’s the reason. Also, I picked that case for its color, but if there's better airflow with another brand, I’d reconsider.
