Toss this in pcpartpicker.com for your region for starters.

 

Way too much RAM, do you actually need that much to run Stats?

You Might wanna start a new thread Mohammad  Was my bad. i started the thread by accident and took 5 min to finish editing it. 

 

As a reply to your list. Why not a b550 for pcie 4? Not that important now, but might be a decent perk for the future.

I can also note that i dont upgrade my system often = i do future proof abit. With that said i would have gone with 32 gb ram for a more gaming based system. The 64 is more for the statistics part. Atm it could get by with 32 for that aswell but it not unlikely that i would need more in the future so i got some additional matching stick now as they were on sale. I dont mind the looks of 4 matching sticks either.

While I understand the "concept" of buying it all now so you don't have to later.... you may want to apply NPV to your spending and how pricing usually drops in later years.  

 

Also, 64GB of RAM isn't needed for statistics.  Unless you're employed as a consultant and running models?

This is a good point. My thought process was that it could be harder to get the same sticks in a few years when we are over on ddr5. This might not be the case but as i got them on 30% of, im happy. They will if anything look good from day one  Any tips on PSU unit? This is what i feel most insecure about atm.

For a PSU, anything on the Tier list B or above will be good.  Not sure the availability of them currently with everything going on.  

 

If you get the 3080, I'd opt for a 750w unit.
