The motherboard is very expensive for no benefit, while you won't need Windows Pro for your purposes. Suggestions below that improve performance with a 5080 plus provide better airflow for $200 less. CPU Cooler: Much less expensive 360mm AIO with aRGB. It's overkill for the 9800X3D, but helps fill o

Both Orico drives use random flash chips, including QLC flash. Avoid them. (Also avoid the Kingston NV3, Crucial P3 Plus/P310, or any Silicon Power for the same reason.) The difference between the 990 EVO Plus and the G70 Pro is that the latter has DRAM cache. They have the same price because of the

You could go for something price-wise that falls in between your two lists (@ $3965), but will perform the same as the more expensive one with a 9800X3D and 5080.

This would be my recommendation for your build. Some Notes: I would highly recommend using the 4TB as your main form of storage as HDDs are much slower. If you do need tons of storage, I recommend building a separate NAS with the remaining storage. If your budget can accommodate it, running an 4090

A few thoughts: The 7600 is too expensive, considering the 7600X and 9600X both currently cost less while outperforming it (if by only a little). You’re spending a lot on the cooler, which could be put towards more powerful components like the GPU. Case is also expensive (though I’m assuming you lik
