Here is a list of parts for the computer I am buying. The CPU from AMD is called Ryzen 9 9950X3D and it has four cores that run at 4.3 GHz. It costs $499 on Amazon. The cooler comes from ID-COOLING and is named FROZN A720 BLACK with a airflow rating of 98.6 CFM. It costs $69.98 on Amazon. I am also buying this motherboard from MSI called MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI which uses the AM5 socket for my computer. The price is $299.99 at Newegg. I have G.Skill Flare X5 with 64 GB of RAM (two sticks of thirty-two gigabytes) that runs on DDR5 and has a low latency of CL30. It costs $184.99 from Newegg. My storage is two hard drives made by Crucial called T500 with heatsinks, but they use 2 TB capacity for my M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid state drive. I am buying the same one again at a lower price of $132.99 on Amazon. My graphics card is from Asus called TUF GAMING OC with a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti that has sixteen gigabytes of video memory and costs $999.99 on Amazon. My case is the Lian Li LANCOOL 216 RGB which fits an ATX computer and costs $102.97 from Newegg. I am buying this power supply called NZXT C1200 that has a wattage of 1200 watts and a rating of 80+ Gold Certified for my needs. It is fully modular and comes with two power cables so I do not have to buy more cables. The total price of everything I listed is $2616.89.

What resolution are you gaming at? Here is my suggestion based on your parts list and budget. An X3D processor is much better for what you need. I added a more practical storage setup. The faster 8100 drive is for the operating system and apps, while the 8TB drive holds games and extra space. I upgraded to a better motherboard and CPU cooler too. Here is the PCPartPicker list:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 4.7 GHz running speed and 8 cores for $472.02 from B&H
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB that pumps out 360 CFM of liquid cooling for $91.49 on Amazon
Motherboard: ASRock Phantom Gaming X870E Nova WiFi which fits the AM5 socket and costs $349.95 from iBUYPOWER
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB with 64 GB total (two 32 GB sticks) running at DDR5-6000 CL28 for $239.99 on Newegg

I think a 5080 Super card will come out soon, so you should probably wait just a little while. Here is the parts list to buy for that future PC: The Processor comes from AMD and is called Ryzen 9 9950X3D with 4.3 GHz speed and has 16 cores. It costs $719.00 at Amazon right now. This part needs a cooler, so I picked the Thermalright Royal Pretor 130 BLACK which gives 81.88 CFM airflow. That cooler costs $49.69 at Amazon. The Motherboard is from Gigabyte and it's called B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 for AM5 socket. It costs $239.99 at Newegg. You need some RAM, so I chose G.Skill Flare X5 which has 64 GB (two of 32 GB) running at DDR5-6000 with low latency CL28. That memory is $219.99 at Newegg. For storage, the first drive is Inland Performance Plus 1 TB that uses M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVMe technology and costs $74.98 at Amazon. The second drive is also Inland Performance Plus but this one is 2 TB using the same tech with a price of $134.99 at Amazon. For graphics, I picked a Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5080 with 16 GB video memory which costs $1539.99 at Amazon. To put all this together in a box, I chose the Montech AIR 903 MAX which is an ATX Mid Tower Case that costs $89.99 at Amazon. For power, I selected the Montech CENTURY II with 1050 Watts of power and it says 80+ Gold Certified for Fully Modular ATX Power Supply. That power supply costs $109.90 at Amazon. If you add everything up, the total cost is $3178.52. These prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when they are available.
