@Paxi @Igor Drefljak
I've updated the build based on what I've found during my research after the AMD CPUs and GPUs announcements. Let me know if anything can be upgraded from a cost/performance perspective.
For the compatibility messages, I've looked up and the x570 board has a BIOS flashback option without a CPU installed (so I don't need an old amd cpu to upgrade bios before installing the 5600x).
As for the RAM and Noctua cooler compatibility messages, I need your input there. Ex: Same RAM with CAS16 instead of 14 has no compatibilty issues (and cheaper).
For the cooling, I know you recommended AIO
@Paxi but I don't trust myself enough not to feck it up and damage the pc parts.
For the graphics card, I just put the 3080 but I'm leaning more towards the 6800 XT as that looks better performing at 1440p gaming. In reality, I will eventually settle for what I can find in stock and at an acceptable price.
No idea on the case yet. I was thinking a Mid Tower (will the noctua fit in a mid tower?). Could you recommend a case with good airflow, glass screen (i want to see the parts from the outside) that is under like 120 USD?
Thanks for your help and sorry for being a constant pain in the ass.
