Hi All,

It's time to just build a new gaming PC. I'm going off of the Best $2000 PC Build for Gaming https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-pc-builds-gaming (copy and pasted system specs below) but I want to make a couple adjustments and not screw it up. I know the builds designed here are great, I just want something a bit between the $2000 and $4000 recommended systems.
I want to use a RTX 4080 super instead of the 4070. I assume this is no issue? Do I need a bigger power supply?
I would like 64G of RAM, can I use the RAM they suggest for their $4000 build? I don't really know much about RAM and don't want to use something incompatible, but if I can get something faster for not much more money I don't know why I wouldn't.
Will the cooler still be acceptable with the above two changes?

That's it! Thanks in advance everyone!
