I've gone for a more reasonable motherboard, it shouldn't be more expensive than the cpu

I also added an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 A-RGB, so you have that RGB but don't pay the overpriced NZXT one.

I also opted for the Seasonic semi-modular PSU, since you will be using all the pre installed cables and are now modular for other ones.

This would be an alternate build with AMD, in my opinion the better option, simpy better value for better performance even

Ram is still overpriced, and the case is still terrible.

I would still change the case. Will perform badly thermally either way.

Better overall list IMO. has a 3080 + 5900x which will perform significantly better in every game including fortnite. Still has lots of RGB.
