Don't get the 9900K. I got the 9700K and now I can't upgrade without a new mobo. Try to get a 10th gen as that gives you room to upgrade cpu wise.

 

Have fun trying to get a 3080 for less than a grand. Look for a 6700XT or a 6800 XT as they are cheaper and have better performance. They are also easier to find.

This does also mean you are gonna need to find another mobo. Use PcPartPicker to find out which ones work best.

For a 3080, you wanna get an 850w PSU. A 750w may work, but IMO it's too borderline to trust not to have shutdown issues.

 

Why are you going for 9th gen Intel? The price isn't lower than 10th gen, it's even higher than Ryzen 5000. 

 

This is the system I would go with. It would perform better, and still look pretty good. For a Windows 10 key you can just buy it on eBay for cheap.

5800X is a solid CPU choice, atleast in my personal experience.
