Is this a good build? I will also add a flash drive and use the Adata SSD for HDD caching.

the aio has preapplied thermal paste, and differences between thermal pastes are probably like 2-3C, unless you are going to overclock I doubt you need to speed 16 dollars on that.

I'm going to be overclocking it.

Are you doing any audio work/are you an audiophile, because sound cards otherwise don't really matter in 2021.

Some FL Studio, And I still like to go OP on my PCs.

Build looks good then. Maybe up the power supply to 750w for future upgradability, but if you know you will keep your 2080 for a few years it's good.

I  might upgrade to 2080 super or maybe a 3060ti next year.

Anything below a 3080 should be fine

The thermal paste the AIO’s come with is about as good as hydronaut. If you want to change it for anything, get kryonaut.

 

You say add a flash drive, what is that for..? Why?

 

And ssd caching of what? You don’t have a HDD in the build list to cache. I assume you have some drives already you will use?

 

Sound cards really are rather pointless. I have one simply to upconvert stereo music to surround sound.... not “worth” it, but, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Unless you know you have an actual need for it, you don’t need it. What in FL Studio will you need the sound card for? Remember, “going OP” just adds more complexity and more drivers to cause stupid things to not work right. If you need it, sure. If you are just buying it because it exists.... don’t buy it.

I have a western digital 4TB Sata 3 HDD, I got it since I knew i'd use it one day. It was E-Waste. I am not adding a flash drive unless I install ISOs.

Also I read a 5900, sorry. 3900... why? Can’t wait/find a 5000 series? I understand they are pretty scarce, so that is unfortunate, but a 3900, I would almost say wait for Intel to release their 11th gen chips and potentially go that route; we are I think a month or so away? Not that a 3900x is a bad CPU by any means, but it is last gen.

I dont like Intel much, And I would upgrade to zen 3 when I have the need. Also I like the capacity for upgrades of the AM4 socket.

Zen 3 will be the last upgrade. After that as far as I know, they will be going AM5 with DDR5 etc.

Welp, Anyways I would upgrade to zen 3 when it comes out.

By "it comes out" I mean when AM5 and DDR5 comes out.

That’ll be Zen 4, but sure. New mobo and RAM will be needed.

Sorry, I guess I’m just confused. Why get a 3900 with plans to upgrade to AM5 and an entirely new platform? My point a few posts back was why not get a 5000 series CPU, or at least plan on that upgrade path.

 

Anyways, it’s a solid build. Just think about the sound card, if you actually need it, then sure. 

[politotito]

Welp, I got a solid answer so I'll close the thread now!
