High End Gaming PC - Ultrawide capable

Cactuar Academy · June 7, 2021

Hey everyone,

I am planning to upgrade my current 5 year old build with the following parts.

This is a more of less fixed build from a local retailer that has the 3080 GPUs in stock. Some parts can be changed but not all of them but please tell me what items you would replace.

Prices for overall build are a big higher then MSRP but would be fine with it.

Budget (including currency): 3000,00 - 3500,00 € | 3650,00 USD - 4250,00 USD

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Monster Hunter, Cyberpunk, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV, any new AAA games, Video editing, 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):

I am currently using 2x 1440p Monitors and thinking about getting the Samsung G9 ultrawide later this year when the new model comes out and the prices drop a bit more for it.

Partpicker list

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor (€539.00 @ Mindfactory)
CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (€141.38 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard (€239.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (€345.89 @ Caseking)

Storage: Crucial MX500 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive (€98.94 @ Computeruniverse)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 10 GB GAMING OC Video Card (€1140.00) Found a retailer that is selling complete buillds.

Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy Fx 192 kHz Sound Card (€41.98 @ Alternate)
Total: €2927.89

Looking forward to your replies and tips on what to change & improve.

Cheers Cactuar
