First Ever Build, Looking For Advice!

[LightM]

Budget (including currency): $2000 USD (not strict)

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Esports-focused gaming (CS2, Valorant) as well as light content creation/streaming

Other details: No peripherals needed, 144hz+, planning to buy before end of November

 

Just put this parts list (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZJCWfy) together after a few days of research. Never built a PC before but a lot of the deals this season seem really solid and I didn't want to wait much longer to upgrade. Any advice on potential problems/budget alternatives I should consider would be greatly appreciated!

Low profile AMD EXPO RAM so that it doesn't impede that dual tower cpu cooler. ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 psu for the RTX 40XX series cards.

7800x3d + 4080 + 32gb 6400c32

 

if you dont need the 3d cache (seems like esports titles like cs2 dont really benifit from the extra cache) then id reccomend a 7700 or 7900 instead

 

you can also get a much cheaper board like the b650m hdv or ds3h which also have pretty much everything a normal person needs i/o wise, just went with the taichi lite as its pretty much the best value high end board you can get on am5, basically anything above this board is either lower end garbage x670 or really high end x670 that dont really do much more than this board features and i/o wise (this board already has tons of high speed usb ports and eclk support for x3d overclocking)

 

6400c32 a die rams so you can clock them to 8000+ when you upgrade your cpu, if your cpu cant handle 6400 then you can drop the ram speed down to ~6200
