help Validate my first build please

[CortesGames]

Budget (including currency): $3000-$4000

Country: Ukraine

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Any game

Other details: 

So I was gaming on laptops for all of my life and now I want to build my first gaming PC.
I've dreamt about PC like this for a while so I'm willing to spare no expense for it to deliver the top notch experience for me. I already picked the parts for it myself, and have the money set aside ready to buy the PC that I've always wanted. I'm fairly tech savy, but its quite a purchase for me, and I need somebody who knows a lot about building PC's to validate the parts that I've picked, to make sure that I didn't miss any pitfalls, incompatabilities or issues with any of the components.
I don't really care about the parts matching looks, I do enjoy RGB, and I'm not willing to spend absurd amounts of money on over-the-top components like 5090. The PC will be used for variety gaming, and maybe occasional day-to-day tasks.
The list of parts that I've picked can be seen here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PktKzP

The questions I need answered about this build:

1. Do all of the main components for this build work well together?
2. Does everything fit and mount well inside this case? Like the AIO, GPU etc?
3. Do you see any pitfalls with the components that I've picked?
4. Is there anything I should be aware of when making build with those components?
5. Is the GPU power connector in this PSU safe? Are they well compatible? If there are two connectors in the box(is it possible?), which one should I use?
6. Can this PSU survive potential sudden power outage?
7. Do you see any nuances to the assembling process that I may not know about?
    

I'm very excited about this build, and would really appreciate your input and any answers to my questions! Thank you in advance!

To my surprise the AC Liquid Freezer III Pro performs remarkably worse than other similar AIOs:

starting from 20:16 

 

Though the difference is big only in full core workload not gaming.

well first of all

congrats for the switch from laptop to desktop

second:

the AIO comes with thermal paste so you dont have to buy it separetly

that motherboard might need a bios update to support the 9800X3D but it does have bios flash back so you can do that whitout the CPU Installed

and ive also picked a better PSU for you which has both 80+ rating and Cybenetics rating and its the same things ive recently picked up for a friend of mine

so here is the edited list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fHyqC8

also that is an absurd amount of Expensive storage IMO

Maybe a NAS at this point?????

Thank you for recommendation! Yeah, I will not buy separate thermal paste in that case.
I haven't checked this SeaSonic PSU when picking my parts, why is it better? Are those extra 200w needed for this build?

I guess the methodology might vary. 

Too much info for me to analyze why the difference tbh.

Thanks for bringing it up. I will look into other AIOs as well. Will the performance difference Arctic has with other AIOs affect anything? I see about 8-10 degree difference worst case scenario, but still far from any throttling if I'm not mistaken?
I'm just wondering

As safe as any 12V-2x6 connector. The PCIe 6+2 and PCIe 6 connectors are also as safe as any of that type.

 

An RTX 5080 requires use of the 12V-2X6 cable.

Simple stoppage of power should not damage the PSU.

The case user manual indicates 59 mm of clearance for top mount radiators. The AIO requires 63 mm. This does not mean that the AIO will not fit. Depending on mounting it may be possible for the AIO to overhang the motherboard.

 

The manual shows 66 mm radiator clearance for front mount. Since the GPU is 340 mm there should be no issue front mounting the AIO.

For your build the Liquid Freezer III Pro is more than enough, sure. Even if in something causes it to be tad worse than some other AIOs in some scenarios.

Just that the most appealing angle was the price for LF III but there might be better options available.

when it comes to PSU's, its always better be safe then sorry

Brands like Seasonics and SilverStone are the golden standard of PC power supply's

and it matters a lot in your case since you live in a region where power is unreliable and you have a 50 serias GPU with the 12VHP Connector which even the safest ones are prone to melt

so yeah you do need a superb powersupply like the one i mentionad or an even a safer one if you are paranoid as much as i am because i also live in a region where in summers power goes out almost everyday for hours

[Tan3l6]

By the way, there's a good page for checking if PSU is reliable or not:

SPL's PSU Tier List

 

There's even a 1500W solid Corsair PSU in that price range - Corsair HX1500i (2023) 1500 W 80+ Platinum - one of the best desktop PSUs I believe.

Only one caveat - it is ATX 3.0 and has the bit older 12VHPWR connector for GPU instead of the newer 12V-2x6. Though with RTX 5080 it would not be an issue probably.

One should concentrate on individual models and capacities. Both Seasonic and SilverStone have offered some real turkeys.

Wow. Thanks for clarification! I didn't see that one coming with AIO motherboard clearance. Seems like there is a chance it may fit with my motherboard, but I will definitely look into other cases before trying. Do you have any good recommendations that would be on par with Shadow Base?

The Lian Li Lancool 217 would work, but it doesn't offer any lighting.

That's ridiculous, tf happend? Arctic used to go head to head with the Lian Li Galahand Performance AIO.

[venomtail]

5.0 X2 drives confuse me. Why? Can just easily go with a quality 4.0 drive that'll be cheaper and not notice the difference.

 

Not sure about the white motherboard and RAM in a black everything else case. I don't think it'll look that good.

 

If you're buying a BeQuiet! case loaded with RGB fans, even a PSU why not go with the same models AIO? Will ensure all the fans are the same, same noise, same performance, same predictable maintenance.
