Your orignal list had some major flaws. 
-The AIO and MOBO were unnecessary and overpriced

-RAM was slightly overpriced 

-SSD could be faster for same money

-PSU was overpriced

-Orignal Case choice was very mediocre

 

with savings made added a 3080

I would not buy windows 10 pro the normal way. 

 

instead, go to another website and buy an OEM key. those are only around 20-30usd. much cheaper and do the same thing. the only difference is that you don't get support from Microsoft directly if you need it (you don't need it since they don't do anything really. they just tell you to reinstall windows when you have a problem), and if there are significant changes to your hardware, then your license might get inactivated. but its still 1/7 the price so you can buy 7 OEM keys and still be cheaper than a normal license.

also, you dont need a liquid cooler for the 5600x. it does not get that hot that you need one. a good air cooler will be just fine and will be less of a hassle

For the looks lmao, but yes thanks I was aware of that it is a bit of a waste of money so I might consider swapping it with a fine cooler

discount code: SKGS

 

you can get windows 10 pro 64bit for $16 with this OEM key. 

I used a youtuber's discount code for 25% off.

Overall a good list, but there are a couple of problems: 

 

- That HHD you recommend has terrible latency and write speeds. And at a build with this budget, I'd definetely go with something better. 

 

- RTX 3080 founders edition is gonna be hard go find at MSRP. DaMysteryMan's Profile Description explains how to get an RTX 3080 in a bestbuy drop, but the RTX 3080 founders edition is gonna have to much demand. You could either try to get the second cheapest one, but thats $849.99, so I'd go for the RX 6800 XT from AMD direct, for arround $649.99. DaMysteryMan's profile description also explains how to do that.

that cooler is not enough for a 5800x. you need something a lot more beefy like an AIO like the liquid freezer ii or giant air cooler like the dark rock 4 or nhd15

No

 

That should be able to hold the 5800x at a decent boost clock

 

All the options you have just given are for instances where youd like to oc to 5ghz+

 

A 3 heatpipe cooler is enough

 

Oh and this aint amd fx alright

7nm is quite power efficient so an 8 core will be cooled down by a 3 heatpipe just fine

according to the HardwareUnboxed review, they used a high end liquid cooler and got a temperature of 75c. you think with a measly small air cooler you won't throttle? (the AIO they used is a 360mm)

It might not be AMD FX but it will still get hot especially as the op is using Blender. Also that board is subpar for that cpu.
