My main recommendation for this system is to switch from the CPU Cooler you currently have listed to an AIO of some type. AIOs are generally ALOT better than a fan at cooling due to the greater cooling capabilities of water compared to air. Also, considering the location being in Indonesia (I'm not sure how the weather is, but I imagine pretty hot), I would definitely go for an AIO or maybe put a greater focus on the cooling of the system because at the end of the day the temperature of the air being pulled (if hot) won't help you out much.

Moreover, the PSU is not a good idea. I would definitely recommend a 1000W PSU if possible due to the current power spikes in 30 series cards. There's evidence out there of 3080s and 90s having power spikes which exceed 500W, so you definitely don't want your system to end up being bottlenecked by a PSU which can't provide enough power to your computer. (this will cause your computer to frequently crash)

All in all, the rest of the build is rather solid and is open to interpretation of what brand and product you might like more. 

Good luck, wish you all the best!

would an 850w psu suffice?

And what aio would you recommend? I've never really been into AIOs, so i don't know what to get
