Way faster and cheaper, you seem to be in love with corsair.

5800X for gaming is a terrible purchase, you'd be better off with 5700X. So, I changed it with 7600X.

Better and cheaper AIO, doesn't look as good tho.

Great B650 board, 2X16GB DDR5 6000 with RGB.

2TB P3 Plus because 980 Pro is a waste of money, you won't feel the performance difference anyway.

6950 XT which is much much faster than 3080 10GB for non-RT.

4000X is a hot box, you have high powered components, I wouldn't get a case with terrible airflow.

Cheaper yet still high quality 850W Gold PSU, certainly way better value than RM850x.

P12 A-RGB fans, better value than those SP120s.

This ^^ by purchasing a 5800X you'll be locking yourself to the previous-gen motherboards and chipsets with the AM4 socket. For upgrading down the line, a 7000 series CPU is by far the better option.

Damn, I already got the 5800x. Could I swap out the CPU, motherboard and ram for the ones I had before?

I mean sure you could, but I just think that 5800X is a terrible value.

I would see if I could return them tho, because 7600x is literally the same price as 5800X, yet so much faster than 5800X.

And please don't get a 3080 for $959, that is way too much for a 3080, especially seeing as 6950 XT is so much cheaper than it. Terrible value all around.
