[SOLVED] Just looking for validation before I click "buy" - How does my build look, any tweaks? Missing anything?

[TechLogic]

So my "upgrade" has pretty much turned into an entire build, except for my video card. Pretty straight forward, but I am an over thinker. I hate finding better options/compatibility AFTER I'm up and running. I've flip flopped back and forth between the B450 Tomahawk Max and x570 Aorus Elite about a dozen times, any who....

Approximate Purchase Date: 1 day - 1 week

Budget Range: 850-950

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, streaming

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: CPU, Mobo, RAM, PSU, SSD, Case

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon & Newegg

Location: Tennessee

Parts Preferences: AMD/Nvidia

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: ASUS PG279Q 1440p @ 144Hz

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Everything works fine, everything but the GPU is 7ish years old


Here's what I'm looking at:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Nagol89/saved/#view=kdrrrH

AMD 3700x
NT-H1 Thermal Compound
MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX
Patriot Viper Steel 16Gb (2 x 8Gb) DDR4-3733
WD Blue SN550 1TB M2-2280 NVMe
Strix 1080Ti (owned)
Fractal Meshify C
Seasonic FOCUS 650w 80+ Gold

TIA

looks good overall.
You will require a wifi USB/card... unless you already have one or don’t need it. I had the same decision to make but chose an asus tuf gaming X570 plus wifi board. My rationale was that the tomahawk max mb was $150. The asus wifi card was $50. So for another $40 I bought the X570 with wifi.

Good luck.

I ended up buying that exact parts list, except I went with an Adata XPG SX8200 Pro NVMe instead.
I always run direct ethernet connection, so I'm not sweating WiFi capability. I ended up going B450. By the time a GPU/x5000 comes out that utilizes PCIe 4.0 (and I can afford it) I'll just upgrade my mobo then.

Thank you for your input!! @rayanik @greigm78
