Oh ok. Well I'll run the test and let you know the outcome as I don't really play any really gpu heavy games. I'll be upgrading my cooler and PSU once I can get my hands on a 5900x. What cooler and PSU would you recommend for a 5900x and 3080?

With the system speccs you have nothing belowa tier psu would be recommended you havea expensive peace of machine. And a cheap psu can fry the whole things. So do research into tier a psu's at 750w. I woukdn't really go any lower then that... As for a cooler noctua nh-d15

750W would be enough for a 12C 24T CPU and a 3080? Do you think I should upgrade my motherboard to a X570? Also, would a liquid cooler not be better?

You dont do anything besides game right? And school... If so the new mobo not needed... 750w minimum is recommended. I personally would go 850 platinum rated.... But again make sure it's a tier a.... Just because it's "top of the line worlds best everything... Dosn't mean it's setup properly and wont short under load.... You arn't oc'ing or any craziness like this as much as yeah liquid cooling may be beneficial in the end. But at the same time can be more problems then anything... Plus wont always produce the same results everyone is thinking they will. Running stalk settings basically with a slight under clock can also do the same thing as a liquid cooler or you. The main thing you will see a difference is if you dont have significant case cooling. A liquid cooler may set in there to. However if you get the cooler i posted two fans exahsting the air on it out the back and enough fans for exahsting the heat with or maybe with out a sight under clock again has been proven to have just as good results as a liquid cooler

Yes I just play comp and use it for school. Mainly for comp as my old PC couldn’t handle scrims or tournaments. If it would make the performance better I would do it. I plan to add to it more and more anyway. Eventually get into streaming/editing so if it would be better for that then I would do it even more so. I want to make it as good as I possibly can.

Ok perfect I only need it to go 20-30m. How will I know which cable to get for my router? I know my motherboard uses a Intel 2.5Gb LAN port. I tried looking up my router and all it says is it has 4 LAN ports for ethernet cables.

So all cables will work? Just any Cat5e+ cable thats not flat? because I was looking around in my settings and I seen that there is an ethernet connection available so that must be the one that I can right? I'll attach a photo of it. If it's true my motherboard and router are both Intel.

If so this one will do right?
My motherboard is Intel 2.5Gb btw.

Yes right now you have no ethernet cable connected you are using wifi so if you buy the ethernet cable and plug it in it will connect

I have fiberobtic internet, I changed internet provider last year so my router is only around a year old. So maybe there is a better one I should get. Is the one you linked better?
