Hi,

I am planning to upgrade my PC as my CPU is running at or near 100% a lot lately and sometimes can't keep up and 16 gigs of memory is starting to not be enough.

Components I plan of keeping are my PSU and GPU

SEASONIC Prime PX-850, 80+ Platinum, 850W

RTX 3080 12G

This is what I thought of so far

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-E

G.SKILL 32GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL30 x2

DeepCool LT720

and as mentioned

SEASONIC Prime PX-850, 80+ Platinum, 850W

That's good, but you could maybe save a bit with a 13600K on DDR4 just adding 2 RAM sticks

Considering that they are doing good game promo with Starfield right now, the difference ends up being about 50 euro, I might end up getting only 2 sticks of memory If the difference in performace is not something amazing.

Thank you for the suggestion
