[SOLVED] Build List Set, Asking For Advice/Recommendations

[SillyPika]

So, I pretty much have my build list completed for the 3080 card that is coming out, and was wondering If I could get your guys' input.
Could I save money? Am I going overkill on some parts, like the motherboard?
Also I am planning on overclocking.
I was contemplating either using the Kraken X73 with x6 NZXT AER 120mm fans since they are compatible, or using a Corsair H100i AIO , but the Corsair H100i only has a 2 fan radiator.
Also Since I am using the Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic Case , I was wondering if the fans I have picked are fine or If i should go with different fans?
Should I switch to a different case? I'm pretty sure this case will fit a 3080. Also, I will mainly be using this for gaming, and general internet surfing/school.

Get the 750 RMx instead of the RM. Better capacitors and where I live its cheaper or it's like 5 more bux.

Starting with i7 9700k at $299, that's a good one. Most cpu aio coolers are good and fitting them one inside a case like lian li pc-001 shouldn't be a problem. However, I really like the coolers from Thermaltake and it can be cheaper sometimes. The bigger the radiator the more air-flow which does make a difference when it comes to cooling. I would attempt to put my hand on corsair's 3600mhz memory, as there is no significant performance improvement but anything cheaper than a slow clocked pricey memory is advantageous.

The Corsair RMx 750 model has two 8-pin connectors which will be required for the RTX 3080 founders edition. You may have a look. I don't see getting a mechanical drive as a problem but its better you stick with M.2 nvme SSD.

Now, Ampere's founder's edition cards have a different cooling technique. Your case might not provide the optimal airflow to your card as shown by the Nvidia. Look for any good front mesh case which might fit in your budget. Make sure the top has a minimum 280mm clearance or you may have a look below to get some idea.

I really like the adjustments you made when it comes to the Processor, I have to ask why did you choose that motherboard specifically, I've also looked at the Z490 Aorus Elite AC its cheaper and also has Pcie 4.0 support, would this be a good alternative? Why or why not? or does it matter?

The Strix E has been one of the better all round boards of Intel since the last couple of generations, with robust VRMs and a host of other features at that price range compared to other boards. I would take it over the Aurous Elite any day...

Edit: Also, on Z490 chipset, Asus boards have the best enforcement of Powel Limits.

So I’m guessing it’s not worth the trade off to get a 4.0 pci slot compatibility even though the 3000 series is going to support it?

If you want PCIe4 support, then you have to go AMD or wait for next gen. Intel. Not that it would make a huge difference.
Some of the Z490 boards are coming with PCIe4 support for next gen. compatibility, but if that is very significant to you, then stick to the Gigabyte. But remember, for PCIe4 to work on the board, you need a compatible CPU, which I am not so sure whether you are going to upgrade any time soon.
Also the Aurous Elite has partial PCIe4 support, not full.

What monitor do you have now?

I would suggest a PCIE 4.0 motherboard, it is becoming relevant.

I have a BenQ 1080P 240hz since I used to play competitvely, but I also use a 4k OLED TV to game sometimes as well.

Heres the AMD alternative with PCIe4...

You can go with the 3700x/3800x as well, but this will add more longevity to the build.
