With a 5800X, you should focus more on cooling than overspending. Basically liquid cooling may yield a slightly lower temp (LTT showed perhaps 3-5C), air-cooling will be more consistent and hassle-free, as AIO pump issues are common. While the Zen3 5000-series Ryzens do not need liquid cooling, they do need substantial cooling, and you don't have enough fans, the 4000D Airflow includes two (the 4000X includes three) and you really need six for the configuration you're going for.

 

Also, be sure to get a decent B550 board at least, because even some B550 boards require a BIOS update for Zen3 support, and updating requires an older supported processor to be installed if the board does not support BIOS flash via USB. Most B450s don't support Zen3 and that ones that do aren't worth it for Zen3, IMO.

 

Also, I'm not a fan of MSI... In my experience, MSI is like a monkey trying to consummate a football. I planned to upgrade my previous rig to a 5900X because their website said the B450M Bazooka I had supported it. MSI said a BIOS update was required, but confirmed the website showing the B450M Bazooka supported the 5900X. ONLY AFTER I'd downloaded the update and spent $600 on a 5900X did they tell me the BIOS update could fry my board. It took me six months to get my ducks in a row for the extra expenditures, blowing my budget by at least 65%. Six months later, their site no longer lists Zen3 support for the B450M Bazooka board. I don't bother with MSI components anymore as a result.

 

That said, I just completed a 5900X (Zen 3 also) build that is doing just fine with:

 

$60 Scythe Mugen 5 Black

$158 Asus Tuf Gaming B550 PLUS

 

Though for your Corsair case, I recommend the Asus Tuf Gaming B550 PRO, it has a dedicated 3.2 Gen 2 header that the PLUS does not, which is needed for some Corsair cases. I managed to make this work, but with the cost of the splitter cable and adapter, plus the time and hassle of waiting for these parts and opening the system back up to install it, I would have been better off just getting the PRO in the first place. An oversight that I didn't catch until it was too late. Just a heads-up.

 

$113 Crucial Ballistix non-RGB DDR4-3200 (Anything faster than 3200 won't be noticeably faster in most cases)

$98 WD Blue SN570 1TB M.2 (best bang for the buck, faster than most in its price range)

 

I recommend WD Blue series for everyday use because they are better bang for the buck in my opinion.

 

Video card -- shop around, there are some cheaper options on the market under off-brand names that are still decent, at least from my research. Like these...

 

Zotac 3070

 

Asus KO RTX3060ti 8GB OC

 

That said, I think you need more fans for a Zen3 Ryzen. The 4000D is $105, but only includes two fans. To effectively cool a Zen3, you should install as many case fans as possible, the 4000-series have room for three up front, two up top, one in the rear, for a total of six.

 

I got a Corsair 4000X case that included three SP120mm fans for $130, but they seem to be around $144 now. A 3-pack of SP120s, about $73, would max out the case cooling for $213, whereas the $105 4000D would need four more fans to max out cooling. Adding the $73 SP120 3 pack, plus a single at $25 brings your total to $193, so it's comparable I guess.

 

Good choice on the power supply (I have an RM850x myself), but I would be leery of buying from Newegg, they are under heavy fire from customers getting scammed recently.

If you are spending around 13 to 14 hundred dollars on a 3070 i would probably try and find a 3080 as there are some going for about 12 to 13 hundred although there aren't as many white 3080 cards currently in stock so if you want to keep the all-white aesthetic, then go with the 3070

 

Crude google translate to polish if that's easier for you to read:

 

Jeśli wydajesz około 13 do 14 stu dolarów na 3070, prawdopodobnie spróbuję znaleźć 3080, ponieważ niektóre z nich kosztują około 12 do 13 setek, chociaż obecnie nie ma tak wielu białych kart 3080 w magazynie, więc jeśli chcesz zachować całkowicie białą estetykę, wybierz 3070
