Budget (including currency): +- 2300$ CAD (before taxes)

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming and gaming

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): 

I'm upgrading from a 2013 computer. I need to be able to use multiple screens and a flawless stream in high def.

Note: the budget is without a video card, as I am postponing the purchase for a later date. My goal is a Geforce 3080 RTX

 

Here is the build I thought:

 

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 105W 100-100000061WOF Desktop Processor

Corsair 4000D Airflow CC-9011200-WW Black Steel / Plastic / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PRO (WiFi 6) AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS Flashback, HDMI, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync)

Seasonic FOCUS GM-750, 750W 80+ Gold, Semi-Modular, Fits All ATX Systems, Fan Control in Silent and Cooling Mode, 7 Year Warranty, Perfect Power Supply for Gaming and Various Application, SSR-750FM

Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560 MB/s - CT2000MX500SSD1

Crucial P5 1TB 3D NAND NVMe Internal SSD, up to 3400 MB/s - CT1000P5SSD8

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-32GVK

 

Things I'm looking for on this forum: Suggestion for a cooling system, a thorough check to see if the casing I chose is good, parts suggestions and a mobo that doesn't need flashing (I prefer asus). I also would like an input on RAM.

 

I'd like to buy parts from Canada Computers, and all parts from the same vendor as much as possible. I know some parts may be overkill, but I like to keep my machines on a long term basis to reduce my footprint.

 

Any comments on this is also appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Here's a thorough look on the 4000D:

 

For the ram you could go with 3600Mhz, zen3 CPUs can benefit from faster ram

 

It's very hard to tell whether a mobo model will come with the proper bios. At least I could never find thoroughly accurate info on that. But if the one you pick has bios flashback it's easy peazy, you don't need anything else plugged into it than a usb stick with the new bios and the PSU. Then you press the flashback button and you're all set.

 

For the cooling the Arctic freezer II 280 is a great AIO from what I heard, and it would fit nicely in the case you picked.
