The 3080 is not overkill and a word of advice don't get the NH d15 with the 5600x go for a u12s. :)

 

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

Is a rtx 3080  if/when I can get one, overkill for this build?

Should I go for a 3070 or 3060ti, if they are ever on the shelfs, instead?

first of all i want to point out that all your parts are well picked, they're all very qualitative.

i dont think a rtx 3080 is overkill, but if you will be gaming at 1080p you could save some money n get a less good gpu

The D15 is better than the u12s but for the 5600x the d15 would be complete and unnecessary overkill. Unless he is planning to overclock a decent amount a u12s will be more than enough.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

When noise is a top concern, the D15 is better. Otherwise the U12S is more than enough.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

The 4000d is a case with a good amount of airflow so I don't think that there will be too much of noise from the CPU fan but yes I agree.
