Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to build my very first PC and I'm looking for your insights before I start ordering my parts. I plan to use it primarily for gaming (both single-player and competitive esports in 2K and 4K) and some light video editing.

Heads up on the PSU! It's rated B- on the tier list, and since ENDORFY is a newer brand, there's a bit of risk involved. It might be worth looking into a different brand that's more established to avoid potential issues. Check out this tier list for reference: [Click here for PSU tier list](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview?usp=drivesdk#gid=1973454078).
You might want to consider swapping out that ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III for a less expensive $50 thermalright AIO. With those savings, you could potentially upgrade to a Ryzen 9 9800X3D and it would pair better with the RTX 5080. Also, the RTX 5080 is pretty pricey; you could find a decent card around $1000 that offers similar performance without breaking the bank.
Thanks for the heads up! What brand would you recommend that's within the same budget?
