New 3080 pc build

[fordmustang72]

Budget (including currency): $2500-$3000

Country: United States - New York

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cyberpunk, Warzone, rdr2, Rainbow 6 Siege, Valorant

Other details: 

I currently have a 5-6 year old pc that desperately needs an upgrade because it can hardly play any recent titles at half decent settings. My old pc specs are:

GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 970

CPU: Intel i5 4690k

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB ddr3 1600mhz

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A-USB3.1

Power Supply: EVGA 750 watt G2 (80 plus gold)

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 500gb

Wifi/Bluetooth Chip:Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I

I'm wanting to upgrade to a new pc build that can run most titles on high settings at 1440p, 144-170hz. I have picked out parts for this build, but I am inexperienced in pc building and don't really know what I'm doing. The parts I've picked out are here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/fordmustang72/saved/x3Cn6h

Note: I'm planning to use my old gtx 970 until I can get my hands on a 3080 at near msrp.

Since I'm very inexperienced, I have many questions:

    Does this build as a whole make sense?

    Are the parts that I picked good and will they work together well?

    Should I make changes to the parts that I have picked?

    Does it make sense to use my old 970 until I can get a 3080?

    Will there be any cpu/gpu bottlenecks if I decide to play at 1080p, 1440p?

    Will I be able to run 4 rgb fans (3 come with case, 1 extra bought) when my motherboard only has 2 rgb connectors?

    Will I be able to reuse my old wifi chip? (I plan to use a wired connection for internet but plan to use bluetooth for other devices such as controllers and headphones)

    Can I get away with re-using my 5 year old power supply instead of upgrading to a new one?

I'm planning to use the rest of the budget to buy a new monitor (likely 1440p, 144-170hz) and do you have any recommendations.

I do not need to buy any new peripherals at this time.

Thanks and any advice would be helpful.

Honestly Upgrade to a 1050Ti is good enough and if you can find one a 3060Ti

most of your parts is super good but I think the Intel I5 Cpu should maybe get a upgrade maybe an Intel I7 7700K or at least 8 core

What? The 1050ti is slower than the GTX 970. Also, the if OP is going to wait, why would he get a 3060ti with a $3000 budget?

Why are you recommending a “i5”? What i5? I5 11600K? I5 2400? 
???? A 7700K? That CPU is 4.5 years old! Why would OP get that, it is a terrible value upgrade. It is not even on the same socket OP is on currently.

i would check if your case has an included rgb controller. if it does, then connect the case fans to the controller and you can control the lighting that way. attach the 4th fan to the motherboard  (this is what i had to do when i build my rig)

Bruh, i know you arent experienced but damn that pc partpicker only has 1 sensible part which is the psu.

 

Heres some parts youll problably want  to reuse

850 evo

Gtx 970 (if you cant find a 3080 aka just a temp gpu)

 

Heres a half decent list that might suit your needs https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yXF2sX quite alot of headroom for extra upgrades/gpu or squandering on asthetics

Note : stupid compatibility issue would not go away no matter what board i chose, you might want to sqander abit more on the case if you really want asthetics, no gpu cause that will be up to you.

 

Esit : 750w is prob not enough for a 3080

4000 MHZ memory is a pretty large waste of money. Infinity fabric doesn't allow for uplifts in performance after around 3600.
You may aswell should just get a 2TB drive.
That U12S is pretty expensive, mayaswell just get a Scythe Fuma 2 or U12s redux.s
The P300A is stock fan config is really mediocre, add one or two 120mm fans or just upgrade to the P360a.
Lastly, spending $270 on a Power Supply? Pretty large No-no, especially for a 3080. the G3 is known to have some major problems with overheating, noise, and tripping. The Enermax D.F revo, msi 850agf, or Corsair RM would all be better options.

Thx for the info, i guess cheaping out isnt the best option is it? Ah well im naturally drawn to stretching budgets as far as they can go
