    You want a 3080 or 3080ti 10 or 12 GB for 4k if you are playing demanding games at all. A 3070 can 4k game, but limitedly. I have a friend with a similar set up and a 3080 10GB has been plenty for his gaming needs.
     
    and yes an 850 watt PSU is enough for a 3080.
    I would consider checking the price on the 5900x or the 5800x3D (releases April 20th). the 5900x came way down in price so it might not be a huge jump from the 5800x.
    Other than that everything looks fine.

    IMO go dynamic, also has headphone monitoring - should sound better than the yeti/snowball/at2020, and be more forgiving with background noise etc

    I swear, people overrate the Vapor-X and treat it like it's god. It's mediocre. If you want the most silent 290 then get a reference 290 and put a G10 on it. Otherwise, I think the MSI option is the quietest.

    viizi78 reacted to Joonikko in ATI RADEON R9 290 VS ASUS R9 290 DIRECTCU II   
    ATI doesn't exist anymore, it was bought by AMD in 2006.

    AMD or Nvidia = design the chip, default PCB, cooler, etc.
    Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Sapphire, EVGA, PNY, XFX, Zotac etc. = OEM's, they manufacture, distribute and sell the cards. Also they can modify the default design with better layout, components & coolers.

    Some AMD R9 290 models:
    Asus AMD R9 290 DirectCU II Sapphire AMD R9 290 Vapor-X Gigabyte AMD R9 290 WindForce 3X XFX R9 290 Black Edition DD Sapphire AMD R9 290 TRI-X OC MSI AMD R9 290 Gaming (Twin Frozr) Look at what you want from a graphics card, do you want it to be silent, run at cooler temperatures, overclock better etc. and then look for the card that best suits those needs.
    I hope that at least somewhat helped and answered the question.
