Looks good, maybe if u want it to look good get some sleeved cables.
Also i see no cooler, so i guess you are gonna use the stock one?

I suppose it depends what you're planning on using it for.[DOUBLEPOST=1605883889][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, you're pairing a 3080 with a R5 3600X?

You're cutting it really close with a 700W PSU and a 3080. Nvidia recommends a 750W but you should go even higher just for some breathing room. Everything else looks nice. Personally, I'd like a case with a bit more front IO options but it's not like you can't get a USB hub for more ports. Two of the compatibility notes are important to look at though:
  • Note: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case has a front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port, but the ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac ATX AM4 Motherboard does not have sufficient USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Gen 1 headers. The case USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port will not be usable.
  • Note: The ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the EVGA BR 700 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.

Your SSD is a nice choice but I have a cheaper option with just as good performance if you're interested. https://www.newegg.com/xpg-sx8200-pro-1tb/p/0D9-0017-000W4 I have the 512gb version in my desktop and I like it. If you prefer Samsung, then that's perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with a 970 Evo.

Looks nice but I'd review the compatibility notes and ensure that you won't need the Type C port. If you're going to need it (or want to use it at all), consider a different motherboard. This may be what you're looking for: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/7gxbt6/msi-b550-a-pro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550-a-pro (If anyone has other recommendations, feel free to provide them). That one doesn't have WiFi, but if you're needing WiFi, either this or this would work (Again if someone has other options, feel free to link them).

PSU, I'd consider going full in on. If you're going to have a 3080, you're going to want to keep your PC alive to use it. https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product...-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020196-na. This increases your original price quite a bit but you're going to need to have a PSU that can handle that much power. Maybe a 750W could pull it off but it's still nice having that breathing room.


Hopefully, you can get your hands on a 3080 for your build.
