Budget (including currency): $1500 CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Csgo Minecraft Cyberpunk, GTA 5, RDR2, trainz railroad simulator 2019 and 4k Video editing and some times streaming 

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): 

Hello everyone i was wondering what your recomadtions would be for parts i already managed to get a rtx 3080 so i was wondering what parts would be the best to go with that card thanks 😄

Hard part to find.  If you RMA it you may only get back a check for what they can argue might have been your MSRP.  Use caution. Budget is a big deal for this one.  Without one I’ll need to keep things vague. If you can pull more hardware magic 5900s and 5950s are faster than anything intel has.  If you can’t though 10th and 11th gen intel seems to be marginally the the price/performance leader.  This could change at literally any time though.  It’s got a lot more to do with peculiarities of the current market than MSRP.  2 16gb sticks of ram is probably enough.  You want dual channel not single channel and having two sticks is often faster than having 4.  There are two potential limiters for RAM speed: what chip you get and what motherboard you get.  Each will have Max ram speeds. Mechanical hard drives seem to be going the way of the dodo though they’re still a cheap way to get a lot of storage space.  Games and even some video gain nearly nothing from Nvme over sata, so there is an argument for cheap no name sata SSDs.  There isn’t much they can cheap out on quality wise.  Might do to make sure that whatever you get has some cache on it.  Some newer drives can use ram for that and be cheap and long lasting at the same time.  I suspect you will want all your ram for that video editing though. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
