Input on 5900x build

[Redjoker95]

Budget (including currency): ~2400 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Variety of games (AAA games to microsoft flight simulator and indie games like Factorio or Kerbal space program, Cad primarily with fusion 360

Other details My plan for now is to order everything except for the 3080 and use my 970 FTW until prices get closer to normal. The 5900x is the only part I have ordered so far. Currently using a 1080p 144hz monitor, but plan on upgrading to 1440p 144hz or 4k down the road. I also use an HTC Vive and plan to upgrade to a valve Index or other headset down the road. 

 

I'm primarily looking for input on motherboard options and cases, but any input on other parts is welcome. I'm currently leaning towards the Lancool II Mesh performance, but I'm also considering the Meshify 2 or 5000D. For motherboards, wifi would be nice to have but not essential. For overclocking, its something that I may do down the road. The 2 16gb sticks is to have 32gb with the option of 64gb with just adding sticks at a later date. Specific 3080 is just a placeholder. I understand that the motherboard may need a bios update for the 5900x support, but it looks like I can do that over USB without a CPU installed.

5900xes have a history of being hard to actually get ahold of.  The launch was described as “paper”. This may have changed but it also may not have.  Could be dependent on area as well. I’ve seen people in Eurasia building 5950 machines and people in North America building 5800 machines primarily because they couldn’t actually get ahold of a 5900. It might be easy now and where you are or you might just get lucky and find one for a decent price.

I actually ordered the 5900x from amazon (sold and shipped by them) today for $549 when I got an alert through Hotstock.io and BH photo has it in stock for $589 currently.

That means available and as close to stock as makes little difference.  A long as that is around intel is gonna have problems.

Aio is not neccesary unless you are ocing, swap for fuma 2 if you arent ocing

 

There is cheaper 32gb ram kits but ripjaws is already pretty good value

 

Msi mpg and enermax revolution df are cheaper options for the psu but still good units

 

Other than a few changes and slight optimizations its already a good build
