Need help with 3080 AMD build...

[eramin]

Budget (including currency): 2020-45 $US (Most parts are more expensive in my country exchanged to my currency)

Country: Hungary

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I'm a Computer Science student, who likes to do a lot of stuff simultaneously, and would like to play some of the newest games on the highest settings...

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): 

My old rig https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/32841999 (which is gonna be gifted to a family member) and the monitor I'm currently using https://eu.aoc.com/en/gaming-monitors/g2590px (keeping this one until i have money for a better one). I'm okay with my peripherals rn, no need to upgrade there...

 

The build I came up with:

I want this build to

• last me at least 7-9 years without bigger upgrades
• the case and power supply to be Be Quiet!
• the CPU to be AMD
• do well with renders and multi core oriented work (IDE running with emulator while there are hundreds of stackoverflow windows open, premiere pro/after effects/blender)

Stuff I need help with

• is the motherboard good for the 3080? I'm still not sure about PCIe 4.0 gen, and how important that is...
• the CPU, i really don't think i want to wait for the 4000 series, but I'm not sure if this gonna bottleneck the 3080
• power supply... is 700W enough for me?
• i don't need rgb the black edition is just more expensive so why would i buy that...
• Any other tips on the build?

 

Other stuff:

• I'm upgrading my monitor to at least to 1440p but probably gonna go with this one's 4k variant if i have the money https://evedevices.com/pages/spectrum/ (yeah i play csgo for 7 years now, i want 144hz)

 

 

I'm pretty stupid so correct me everywhere I'm wrong, thank you

you probably dont need 32 GB. also 2666 is PRETTY slow for ddr4...

idk either but one thing is clear to me. pcie 4 is probably (definitely) better than whatever was last gen (gen 3? some one plz confirm)

you are gonna have to wait nonetheless for the 3080. no bottleneck

i think it is recommended you go 750W but 700 should be enough

take faster ram,and according to internet you will need 320 for 3080,250 watt for your build so you should be fine with 700w
