Run away. There is no 3080 TI (at least not yet)

Probably don’t need such a large ssd, so much ram, and that cooler is eh (good value, just not especially great performance) Really good overall though.

OCs can be stable for some applications and not for others. If the OC is still stable in other games, it’s probably just Cyberpunk. If not, it is probably the driver update.

Unless you want to go used, it looks like your best option for a CPU is a 9600k (assuming you live in the US) If you are willing to go used, you should be able to get a 9700k just within your budget. Make sure you have plenty of RAM as well.

Even if you didn’t buy the board from them, I would think that most stores would be willing to update the bios for you if you pay for it.

Yes. If you bring it to a local store, they should be able to update the BIOS for you. They will probably do it for free or very cheap.

I will always advise against buying used storage, especially when the price is so close.

Go up step by step, testing for stability. If unstable, try loosening timings and adding voltage (stay at or below 1.5v). I’ve never had a very successful RAM OC, so that’s about as much as I can help.

Won’t be a profile for it, but you can try overclocking it.

Gsync vs freesync isn’t a big deal. Don’t buy a different GPU just because it supports a different kind of v-sync.

You will be able to use Freesync, but not Gsync. There shouldn't be any problems.

Wait and buy a 5800x instead if you don't need the cores. Otherwise, $400 is a great price.

If the motherboard ships with a recent enough BIOS, it will work out of the box. If not, you can take it to a local shop to have them update it for you.

It’s cheaper without having that much worse performance.

For the most part, but it can be important in constrictive cases as well.
