That build is fine, I'd want a better PSU (there have been reports of the 850 GA having issues with 3080s, at least early in the life span of 30 series), go for a cheaper RAM kit (it's 50/50 whether 3600MHz works in gear 1 on the non-K SKUs, might as well save your money and go 3200MHz instead), and am a bit sketched out by that SSD (never heard of it before, doesn't mean it's bad but I'd probably want something else), but that's about it. 

 

That said, if it were up to me, I would be waiting a month for the AM5 announcement, either to go AM5 and get a faster machine for about the same cost or to score a really good deal on last gen AM4 gear when it goes on clearance.

Looks fine to me! I'd probably only change the ram to 3200 cl16 instead of 3600 cl18 and see if you can find a 3080 12gb version instead

I'd also see for a better psu as well

Thank you 😊 I would like to ask if you could maybe give me some tip for better PSU and also maybe some other SSD, please?. Also I went for 10gb version because I read that there is not much difference between 10gb and 12gb or like that it is not really worth it for the money? But I guess I could maybe go for that 12gb as now it is around 24€ difference.

12gb is a decent bit better, I would spend the extra 24 euros

The 12gb model is definitely worth the 25€ increase.

The ssd is fine, to add to what ronothan said it's comparable to corsairs mp510 ssd.

A psu like This is a good choice, only complaint being it having a ball bearing fan so it's a bit loud. I'd consult the psu tierlist and see if you fan find an 850 watt A tier psu

Hey guys I have and aditional question as I am building that PC right now. How would you setup the airflow as I have 2 fans + aio. I have 2 fans which came with the case and that 2x140mm (280) aio but dont know what would be the best for cooling/airflow. Ofc I will buy more fans in few weeks.

 

That k you for help 🙂

I would put 2 fans on the front as intake and your AIO as exhaust at the top. When you buy more fans I would put another fan on the back.
