I'm setting up my first PC and have been reviewing suitable components. My list includes a Ryzen 5800X CPU, an Asus TUF RTX 3080 graphics card, an Asus TUF X570 motherboard, four 8GB RAM sticks, Corsair Vengeance RPG Pro LPX, a Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic Razer case, and a 2500W power supply. I'm confident the parts fit together well so far, but I'm unsure about the case's performance. Regarding cooling, I need to decide on a cooler and figure out where to place fans inside the case to maintain optimal temperatures. My goal is to finish assembly by November 13th, aiming for a build cost under $2500 while ensuring everything stays cool.

Sure, this setup looks excellent. I suggest the H150i RGB Pro XT or Cappelix for enhanced RGB performance. With a 3080 and you're targeting 1440p at 240Hz or even 4K at 60Hz, you're all set!

Choose a 2x16GB memory paired with a 3600C16 RAM module. For the power supply, a solid 750W unit should suffice for cooling. Opt for a quiet Bequiet Dark Rock Pro 4 or Noctua NH-D15.

You seem to prefer RGB fan choices, but I need to confirm compatibility with your CPU socket. Also, let me know how you'd like to proceed in finding your motherboard's socket type.

Thanks for the suggestions. You’d rather go with an air cooler rather than a liquid one. The RGB lighting on the ankh models is appealing, but I’m curious—are 750W sufficient to run the CPU and GPU fans effectively?

Don't stress, it should be fine. I suggest the RM750 from Corsair. Make sure to get the model with Wi-Fi and sufficient storage.

Among the four Zen 3 CPUs, the 5800X stands out as the least appealing, though the case design is decent. I suggest adding four 8GB RAM sticks instead of two 16GB units.

Consider the balance between performance and cost. Four 8GB RAM sticks offer more total capacity than two 16GB units, which can be useful for multitasking or future upgrades. You might find it easier to manage memory without overclocking if you choose two instead of four.
