Any critique would be appreciated

The edited prices is because I found a 3080 under msrp!!!!

I'd look into a 570 board, change that psu to something such as a Seasonic not to mention you can get a much faster 2TB SSD than that WD you have in that build for just a few more dollars.

I like to max out the ram on a board. That said I'd get 2x32GB chips. You can always get 2 more further down the road.

Why? You'll never need or use anything more than 32GB and and anything after that offers very little benefit unless you're working with multi-layered video editing, CAD, or Photoshop files and that would be beyond the needs of most mainstream non professional users.

You say that now..... What will tomorrow bring? The rig I built in 2013 was maxed out at 16GB. People told me then that I'd never need so much. Now 16GB is seen as a standard. Look beyond the software of today. Look beyond and maybe, just maybe, you will be prepared for tomorrow.

To be fair you were maxed out on DDR3 RAM, you wouldnt really need more than 16GB of RAM during that age, and it does not carry over well to today.
Lets say you buy into 64 gigs of DDR4 now, by the time a typical system needs that much memory DDR4 speeds may be laughable.

I do not intend for mine to BE a typical system.

I used to have that mindset back when I first started building systems. But what I've come to realize in terms of RAM is that most applications are not total RAM hogs. If you look at what gets allocated to your system's RAM, the total overall RAM usage of programs isn't what you think it is or is going to be. For the most part, it hasn't changed much in the last 10 years and it probably is not going to. There is always that possibility that games could start using more RAM and in a lot of ways the amount of recommended system RAM has increased to 32GB, but that's just a recommendation. There's no way that you absolutely have to have the maximum amount of RAM recommended and there's no way you will ever use all of it, but it has taken 10 years to get to this point. Who knows what the requirements are going to be 10 years from now?

Once you start going past 32GB, then you start getting diminishing returns the more RAM you buy. Unless you're like a hardcore Photoshop / Premiere editor, or an Autodesk / Solid Works user where you work with files that have hundreds of layers, there's no way you'd ever need or use more than 32GB, and when you start buying more than that, that's when things get really expensive and can add a lot of unnecessary costs to a system budget.

I was trying to go for a white themed build... Will a black motherboard ruin going for a white build?

We're here in this thread to help the OP build their system, not yours.

 

[geofelt]

Kudos on finding a 3080 at anywhere less than double MSRP!

What is your planned case?

I think on a top end build, I would opt for a single 2tb Samsung 980 PRO
It is easier to manage a single drive space.

I am not so hot for liquid cooling when you can use a top air cooler that will be just as effective at half the price.

Thing is, most of the good quality x570 boards comes in black or shades of black. Also if you look closely, the X570 Tomahawk is a mix of white and black. Thats as close as you can get if you dont want to compromise on quality and performance.
