Hi! I am in the process of building a pc configuration with the new RTX 3080 and the AMD Ryzen 5600x CPU.

I am gonna use the PC for gaming only I will definitely not be overclocking neither the cpu nor the gpu (I think).

 

So this is my build so far -

Do you think I should Change the RAM or the motherboard, will I be able to use the full potential of the gpu and cpu with this motherboard?

Is the build like this even worth it?

 

I am ordering from gplay.bg this is link to the cart with all the parts - https://gplay.bg/share/b1m (the blue thing above the pc fan means building fee because i dont wanna risk building it on my own)

I would switch case to meshify c white, grab a pack of fans, and swap out mobo for a b550-f gaming

I could use some help with this!

Unfortunately the site I am buying my parts from don't sell the fractal design brand, those are the brands they offer.

The b550-f gaming mobo is not in stock : ( btw I can add more fans to the current case too it's not a problem but is it worth it and what types of fans would u recommend ?

If I was you I would probably get a 800 or 850 watt power supply/. I know that this is not what the thread is about, but the 3080s can peak a lot of power, and if you ever wanted to upgrade or overclock your cpu 800 or 850 would be most likely needed.
