Hey everyone, so I desperatly need a new pc and spent the last week researching and looking for mid to high-end build.

Here are my components:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/846tgb

I would use this for both gaming and content-creation (I go to uni and work a lot with 3D-Programs like Blender/Maya and C4D also whole Adobe Creative cloud ( video editing- design etc.)

  • choose to go for a 3080ti since I have a ultra-wide monitor 3840 * 2160.
  • intel i7 12th generation and corresponding DDR4 motherboard (dont want DDR5 because its hella expensive).
  • RAM is 4000mhz cl-18 because I was told it allows me to get best performance out of 12th gen alder-lake.
  • 3 ssds for storage / games / and one pcie 4 gen as main drive.
  • I wanted to go with a nzxt h510 flow case, but the suprim x with aio installed on front wont fit (I think).

Also I was wondering if a Asus TUF 3080ti (which is smaller then the msi suprim x 3080ti) would fit into the NZXT h510 flow (where I swap out the 120mm * 3 AIO to a 140mm * 2 AIO). However im uncertain on what would be a better choice?
The only thing that is missing is the PSU, since I dont know if I should go for a 1000w or 850w PSU? Maybe you guys can help me out here (good recommendations)?

Sorry for long question. Thanks in advance! :)
 
1.45v is high. DDR4 max safe voltage is 1.5v per extensive testing by Intel, and the only ppl who should be approaching that limit are OC record hunters using LN2 on the cpu etc.

See if you can cut that voltage down to under 1.4v, preferably under 1.38v. And still remain stable.
