I have peripherals already, although I might want to purchase a 4K or Ultrawide monitor.

 

Thinking of upgrading late next year (So possibly waiting for Zen 4 and DDR5) from my current system (See my signature).

 

Currently content with 1440p at high refresh rate, but might want to try 4K down the line.

 

Any thoughts, and suggestions/improvements would be greatly appreciated!

 

 

I will complain about high prices in Norway given the oportunity.

Could you wait for New year because the prices are crazy high now. You could easily get more performance. BTW, what is the TAX rate in your country?

I already said I'm not planning on upgrading until next year - maybe even late 2021 to wait for Zen 4

 

EDIT: Also, the prices I listed are not high because of shortages or anything. These are the official MSRP prices here in Norway (We're one of the most expensive countries to purchase consumer electronics in)

This gives 30% Higher performance than the build you suggested, the only drawback is you are using a SATA SSD too.

Yeah Sure Sir, I've used some 25% Tax in Norway as the standard, added some normal shipping rates through USPS in the parts that are currently out of stock in your country. An upgrade from 5900X to 5950X (12 core to 16 cores) and RTX 3080 to RTX 3090 (A lot improvement). RGB Sync is also good for all the case fans and radiators and GPU. If you ever Upgrade to 4k you can do Native 4k. 8k Gaming at 60 FPS with DLSS compatible too.
