Pairing a 5080 with a 9700X? Get outta here. Should be an X3D CPU with such an expensive GPU in it.

Just keep in mind, you probably won't see ANY difference in performance unless you game at 1080p. The bottleneck at 1440p and above is the GPU not the CPU.

Honestly, this is a pretty darn good deal...but I would prefer having an RX 9070 XT instead of Nvidia hardware.

5080 is a 4K card. The bottlenecks move up to 1440 with that much power. You will cripple a 5080 by about 15% pairing it with a non-X3D CPU.

Fair enough! You have the chart to back up your statement, so I wont argue!
