The mobo is too expensive, there are excellent motherboards at half the price, like the msi b550-a pro.

For cpu, the 5800x doesn't make sense to me, in terms of price. Go for the 5600x if only gaming. If you do productivity work, go for 5900x.

Get a 1 or 2tb ssd for games and software.

The 5900x is 300 euros more expensive and the 5800x was only 126 (with shipping) more then the 5600x. 5900 makes no sense to me.

the mobo is not final i can still go for the b550 Asus Variant.

1-2 tb ssd is not enough for me i want big mass storrage. i got 2tbb hdd rn and thats not enough for me

Make sure that there is enough clearance for your RAM with the CPU cooler that you have chosen, and also, you might want to save some money there, since I am pretty sure the cpu cooler will block any RGB from the RAM. I would agree on the 5600x being the max you need for gaming, 5800x is in a weird spot between the 5600x and 5900x. B550 will save you some money if you don't need the extra connectivity.

yeah i ended up sending back the dark rock 4 and got an arctic freezer instead. 320 version since i somehow got it cheaper then a 280. and as i said before the 5900x is alot mroe expensive
