What are your thoughts on my new build?
I'm planning to assemble a new gaming PC and have spent considerable time figuring out the best CPU/Motherboard combinations. Also curious about whether a Ryzen 9 9950x3d pairs well with an RTX 5080. Some believe the ASRock Phantom Gaming x870e offers a solid S-tier option, while I'm also looking into the gigabyte Aorus X870e Pro. I'd appreciate hearing your opinions on these choices.
Going to construct a new PC and I’d like to hear some opinions on the choices I’ve made. Users are encouraged to format their threads with details about the questions raised here. *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* This guide is an adaptation of the Animal’s *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I developed it because many people are currently seeking upgrade advice both on this forum and in CPU discussion boards, and I believe... forums. can provide some useful context about your build and the challenges you’re facing, which in turn allows the community to offer helpful suggestions. In simple terms, all components seem compatible, but we prefer more information than just brief notes. I’d steer clear of ASRock motherboard recommendations if I were you.
... as previously discussed, it's better to avoid taking risks.
ram corsair – some argue it's not a wise move for AMD
ssd pcie5 – suitable only for gaming; unnecessary for content creation
only 850 watt psu recommended for rtx 5080
(noticed shortly after that the psu costs 400 euro!!! - what?...please avoid falling for such scams.)
250 euro for Windows? For business, I can understand a higher price, but for home use (non-work), why?
Just to be clear, your money is yours – feel free to spend it however you like. This is just my perspective.

Alternatively, this build matches the budget of your previous setup...(it should definitely boost the FPS).
@Vilfort Except for Microsoft Flight Simulator, you might overlook the 9950x3D to avoid parking core issues. Consider a SSD equipped with DRAM cache like the one Samsung offers below. The Lian Li case provides superior airflow and simplifies assembly, particularly when paired with an AIO. 1000W ATX 3.1 for the 5080. AMD EXPO certified RAM.

Thanks for the feedback. The displayed prices aren't correct and I wouldn't pay that much for Windows 😅 I chose the parts instead of the cheapest option.
Windows 11 pro can be purchased as low as 150 dkk.
Looking at your suggestions!
Just out of curiosity,
Many are commending the ASRock motherboard, what's the concern?
The ID Cooling cooler won't remove the Patriot RAM because of the large heatsinks. When using dual M.2 SSDs, I should check for a board with additional PCIe lanes to prevent the OP's GPU from running at full speed.
