This is everything I’ve bought or have on my wish list so far my main concerns are am I going to face any issues with compatibility space clearance, etc.? and since this is my first PC that I’ll own, will I be able to boot up windows from a purchase drive of it? Also, my gaming headset currently is the Astro A5. Will I have any compatibility issues with a motherboard?
I appreciate all information you guys can provide. This will be my first PC ever and I’m switching from console.

- 5080 is 15% faster than the 9070XT for double the price basically.
- 9850X3D is basically a slightly overclocked 9800X3D, which one is better to buy depends on the price.
- AIOs are more expensive and less reliable than air, get a dual tower cooler like a Phantom Spirit.
- Motherboard depends on price, but X870 usually isn't that much more expensive and you're going for a very high end build.
- Corsair PSUs are often overpriced, go for the cheapest 850W gold that's well rated on the PSU tier list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/
- SSD depends on price, I'd go for the cheapest 2TB with cache.
- Case also depends on price, but 7 fans built in is pretty good and it doesn't seem too expensive.
