RTX 3080 Content Creation Build

[Keepit1hunned]

I need some recommendations for a RTX 3080 build. I primarily do content creating so I want the build to cater toward this bias. I'm new to the PC build world (Coming from MacOS) so I need some breakdowns. So far with my basic research I found these for my set up:

 

Motherboard: MSI X570 MEG Unify, or a B550 tomahawk if I stick with 3.0 SSD

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900x

CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACK 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler

GPU: RTX 3080

Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory

SSD: Do I wait for the Sabrent/Samsung PCIe 4.0 or go with 3.0 Samsung EVO? Need Help

         Should I do a dual ssd set up with one being the boot drive???

PSU: 850W or 1000W?

CASE: Meshify C? I'm looking for Atx mid/full. I don't care for looks just want performance like better airflow and variety of I/o like usb C  

Monitor: I'm currently using Lenovo think vision X1 (2nd Gen) which supports 4K 60 fps. I would like suggestions for possible monitor upgrades to take advantage of the new rtx cards. Resolution and accuracy is a priority. 

 

Thank you for the help!!!

 

Budget (including currency): N/A

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe creative cloud (Premier Pro, After effects, Photoshop, etc), Streaming (Twitch,Youtube), Light gaming 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

I wouldnt use dual ssd but that is just me

850w is enough i think

850W will be plenty.

Phanteks P400A or P500A have excellent airflow, dont think they have usb c though. meshify c is pretty good anyway though

Note: B550 support PCIe Gen 4 SSDs.

850W is plenty since the 3900X isn't really a power hog.

I would go with a PCIe Gen 4 drive since I don't think you would benefit from a 5000 Mb/s drive.

Case - I'd go with a P500A/Lancool II Mesh. Define 7 if you want to use a bunch of drives.

 

Doesn't seem like your needs are super demanding. Will 3080 be necessary?

At the price point it's coming out 3080 seems like a good purchase. I was assuming extra vram would be helpful too. Do you have recommendations for other GPUs great for video editing?

I was reading something about having separate SSDs to optimize rendering and import/exports with premier pro
