Hey there! I'm excited about your new gaming setup. Since your current machine is nearly eight years old, this build looks solid if you follow the right specs. The components you mentioned are all top-tier for performance and reliability. Just make sure to check compatibility between everything and consider cooling upgrades if you add more fans. Let me know how it goes!

Choose the 3700x and pair it with an air cooler such as the NH-D15 or a 280/360 model. Be sure to deduct the fan count (down from 7) if you opt for an AIO. Consider the Corsair TX550M or RXM550 instead.

I chose the 3700x because it’s just 40 euros more than the 3800x, and I’m fine with that extra cost.

I need another case, it's too small for the GPU. I could use the CPU and cooler, which costs around 140 euros, and it would be a 2080 Super True. Will that stock CPU cooler be sufficient? And by what do you mean by "rad" on the LED strip?

1. Yeah, I don’t really know about the case size.
2. The stock cooler looks good for performance and a bit of OC—just leave it as is if you prefer.
3. I didn’t want to mention cool again; it’s just my personal preference, so I haven’t commented on it.
