Upgrading my gaming PC

Hendrik__ · April 25

Budget (including currency): ~1700 Euro

Country: Germany

a few years ago i build my current gaming pc with the following parts:

7800x3d
msi B650I Edge wifi
32 gb ddr5 6000
1tb ssd
msi 6950 xt
nzxt h1 v2

Using this pc was absolutely wonderfull... however my gpu is kinda bottlenecking my system and i would like to change the case...
I would like to transfer this pc into a fractal terra in silver and upgrade to a 5080. (~1200 euro in germany)
for cooling i want to use the thermalright AXP90-X47 Full copper with a noctua fan.

my questions:
are the thermals gonna be alright?
what psu should i get? (sfx, reliable, 750w or do I need more?, cost effective) (currently thinking about buying the Corsair SF-L Series SF850L 850W SFX-L)
is a 5080 for 1200 euro a good enough deal? (i know its not the best card, but I cant even get a 4080 (Super) for much less than that)
anything i might not have thought about?

For gaming the AXP90-X47 ful copper should be fine. Depending on the GPU dimensions you might be able to squeeze in an AXP90-X53 which would offer slightly better cooling.

While the thermals should be alright, unless if we're talking highest end GPU, you should be fine having more ambition on it and going with a taller cooler. Fractal Terra has an adjustable spine which you can slide between fitting wider GPU or fitting taller CPU cooler.

Bingo.

Just about pricing for xx80, and 5080 does perform equally to 4080 super. The new issue would be can you find one in stock, or is it a backorder/forgot to update stock?
