Hello, I'm building a computer and I gathered some components. I want to know if these are compatible and if not I would like some help with recommendations, please.

Thank you!

Here is my components list:
-Motherboard - AsRock AM4/X570 Steel Legend
-Video Card - ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti OC Edition 12GB
-CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16 Cores
-Ram - G.Skill RipJaws V Series 32GB ( 4x 8GB ) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR4 4000
-Hard Disk - Toshiba X300 4TB
-Power Source - Corsair HX850 Full Modular 80 Plus Platinum 135 mm Fan
-CPU Fan - Fractal Design Celsius S24 - 240mm Radiator
-Case NZXT H710i - ATX Mid Tower
-SSD Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 (2280)
-Monitor - Eizo FlexScan EV3285

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I don’t have a particular budget. I just want something that can take everything easily.
I m a graphic designer, I work with adobe suite and Autodesk.
You don't need so much GPU for those jobs and I would rather put money in faster and larger NVMe SSDs.
Those are also effective like for instance Samsung 980 PRO, twice as fast as evo plus.

Compatible, yes, optimal no. The 3080ti isn't worth the 3-5 fps, on average, compared to the much cheaper 3080 12gb, for instance. Enough of a price difference to easily pay for a gen 4 ssd. Anything faster than DDR4 3600 CL16, is a waste on an AMD rig. Zen4 comes out in like 2 weeks. What is your budget, and use for this system?

That makes sense, thanks. So what graphic card would you suggest? I could buy the TUF version but without Ti.
And about the ram—I found somewhere saying that if the motherboard supports up to 2400 mhz and I have above that, its a waste, because my ram has around 4000 mhz, isn’t?

3600MHz RAM with low Cl number (14-16) the limit where diminishing gains start. That's because the way Ryzen 5000 series memory controller works as it goes thru intermediary chip and so IMC ((in the CPU), that I/O chip and memory speeds have to run in 1:1:1 ratio for best performance.
Don't worry about MB it will support 4000MHz too let alone 3600. I don't think that there's and 500 chipset MB that is limited to 2400 MHz.
If you are dead set for 3080 non Ti would do you exactly same job. Other option in same range would be AMD Rx 6900XT if lower price but needing less power.

Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated. Then I will go as you suggested.
