Posted (edited)

Budget (including currency): $2000 AUD (without GPU)

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 4K Gaming, Linux Virtual Machine for data processing 

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): 

 

Hi All,

Looking to build a 3080-compatible windows gaming PC that can also run a Linux VM for work. Looking to use a Ryzen 5800X for productivity with a minimum of 32GB RAM (though could go for 64). I currently have a RX 5700XT which I will slot in temporarily, but I will be looking to install a 3080 when I can get one. 1TB M.2 storage would be great, I have an additional 2TB SATA drive already.

This is what I've got so far: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Y9NVy4

RGB is not important to me at all, any RGB will probably be turned off most of the time.

Mostly looking for advice on motherboard, cooling and case, any input appreciated!

Thanks Herman! I have a slight preference for white cases but am not a big fan of RGB, do you have another case that you'd recommend? Would something like this be appropriate? https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/ybH8TW/lian-li-lancool-ii-mesh-atx-mid-tower-case-lancool-ii-mesh-performance

That is a good case, I would personally recommend the Fractal Design Meshify C. If you aren't into RGB you could save some money on the ram by going for a corsair lpx or gskill ripjaws kit with either 3200 cl14 or 3600 cl16 speeds. Also, I personally have not heard much about that PSU, I recommend the Corsair RM750x, but that PSU could also be just fine. As for the CPU cooler, I don't think corsair air coolers are as good as something like a noctua NH-D15 or a be quiet dark rock pro 4 which are where you could spend the money that you might save from the RAM, although I am unsure about the conversion to australlian dollars.

Great, thanks for the suggestions. I'll probably go the Corsair LPX 3600 as I've heard the Ryzen CPUs are hungry for fast memory. With the Fractal Design case, would you recommend adding additional fans or are those that come with the case going to be alright?

I have the RGB version of this case.  It's fantastic to work in and it's spoken very highly of by GamersNexus in their case reviews (excellent out of the box thermals, mainly).  Timestamped for convenience.  I have no qualms recommending it.

I've heard similarly iffy things about Corsair CPU coolers.  Treat with caution if you do decide to go with that.

It's entirely possible that I misinterpreted/misread your topic and/or question. This happens more often than I care to admit. Apologies in advance.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Might be a bit late now, but I would recommend more fans than what is included, there is a great 5-pack of Arctic P12 usually available on newegg or amazon that would work just fine.

You weren't wrong about the Gigabyte PSU, it has horrible coil whine when idle. I will be returning that and will go for the Corsair RM, thanks for the suggestions

You may want a 850W just too be safe, but 750 should be fine
