Obtained a 3080TI for my first build

[Donklekong]

Budget (including currency): €800

Country: Ireland

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games like DCS World, Tarkov and spacemarine 2

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have already bought a second hand 3080TI and I pretty much need to build a PC around it. I have an M.2 SSD in my laptop which I will use for the time being, but otherwise I need to buy all other components necessary. 

 

I have made a PCPartPicker list, please let me know what you guys think, if I have made any crucial mistake that will make this blow up in my face.

You want DDR5-6000 CL30. Example:

Save a few euros on the motherboard:

https://www.amazon.ie/MSI-B760-GAMING-PLUS-Motherboard/dp/B0BSLMNGM9/

I see the motherboard is DDR4, Should I usee that instead of DDR5?

 

also, How much does the different types of RAM matter?
