Budget (including currency): Not really a concern.

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I plan on streaming and recording my gameplay at the highest quality that I am able to without sacrificing frames (because I like to play to the best of my ability). I play games like overwatch, call of duty cold war, war zone, apex legends, and many other like it. 

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): Here is my current build. I am wanting to upgrade my GPU to the RXT 3080 and want to upgrade my CPU to a new Ryzen 5 series cpu, but am not sure what I should go for. I do not want to drop all the money on a 5950x, but still want a good build without bottle necking the GPU. Also, would I need to upgrade my power supply to a 750 watt supply or is my 650 ok enough.

 

Thanks!

That's what I would do when you can find the GPU and CPU in stock I added extra fan (not sure if you have it already) You also didn't specify what type of cooler are you using so I added this one one of the best you could also go for noctua nh-d15(s) some extra storage if you will record your gameplay and better PSU as test showed new RTX card like to spike so I would go 100W above what Nvidia recommends
