afaik minecraft cares more about single core speed so i dont think it benifits from the cache

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/qQ6cL9

7600 + 32gb 6000c30 + 3080ti

went for am5 as the 7600 with some pbo tuning should be close enough to 5800x3d performance and obliterate it in games that dont benifit from the cache

also you arent stuck on a dead platform so you can drop in a new cpu without needing to mobo or ram swap

speaking of which board will offer much better i/o and vrms compared to any intel or am4 board for a given price because of how overbuilt they are, this board in particular has 17 usb a (9 usb3 + 8 usb2) and 2 usb c ports in total so yeah complete overkill but you wont be needing a board swap thats for sure and the cheaper options were bad value otherwise id have gone for something like a b650m hdv, also board is black so if you are going for an all black build which it seems you are judging by the cooler itll also look better with an all black board

ssd should perform similarly or abit better than the ancient 980 pro, for alternatives theres the a440 and m480 pro

psu has been upgraded to an 850w whilst being cheaper, having a 10 year warranty, and no fan noise complaints aside from that one guy with a 650w version but unclear if thats fan noise or just coil whine (just search up rme fan noise and see for yourself)

cut abit of cost on the case and since its a deepcool case it should match with the cooler

btw try see if you can haggle abit on the gpu as you should be able to haggle a little bit of the price off the gpu since its used
