Build advice

Hello all,



Looking to get a pre-built, thinking about the following:




· AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6x3.70GHz
· ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus [WI-FI] (90MB1170-M0EAY0)
· Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 (NH-U12S SE-AM4)
· 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Kit DDR4 2666MHz
· 1000GB Samsung 980 PRO M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe (MZ-V8P1T0BW)
· ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 OC 10GB
· 850W Seasonic Focus PX ATX 2.4 (FOCUS-PX-850) · Corsair 4000D Airflow schwarz, Glasfenster


Main usage would be gaming, office & CAD. I don't see the benefit of waiting about fro Christ knows how long for a 3080ti for a 5-10% bump in performance, so sticking with the 3080.


Not sure about the RAM-would it be worth getting faster?


Is the 980 PRO worth the extra cost compared to a 970 EVO?

As it's pre-built, I don't have a lot of options re. the case PUS-other than the Seasonic it's corsair RM series, and be quiet! Straight Power models.
Case fans will be swapped for quieter ones down the line.


Plan to keep the system for 3-4 years, with a plan to upping the GPU after 2.




TIA.

Bump the ram up to 3200mhz, 3600mhz if you can, or if the price difference isn't mental.

980 Pro will give you PCIE 4 over the 970 evo, it's not much use at the moment and the speeds would be negligible but eventually probably will if stuff like windows direct storage etc becomes more mainstream.

Yes to faster ram, 3600CL16 should probably still be the sweet spot, 3800 is probably the limit but just maybe 4000 will work now or in the future, 3200 really is the minimum in my book as that's the stock speed for the Ryzen 5xxx.

I don't think the 980 PRO is worth much of a price increase for gaming, office and CAD. At some point games might start to use direct nvme->gpu stuff for texture loading but by the time that is significant enough to have you thinking the 970 EVO is too slow it would likely make more sense to just pick up a newer faster and/or bigger drive. For the likely overall price of that system I'd certainly spend a little extra 980 PRO but the difference of about €34 I see on pcpartpicker would be pushing it and if you are working to a budget and there's something else you would like to squeeze in I'd just go with the EVO (or an even cheaper nvme drive if they have them).

You could still end up waiting a while for a 3080 though who knows when the 3080Ti will actually appear (I don't think it's officially confirmed still) let alone ship to you if you hold out for one.

Thanks guys great spot re. the RAM; I had 3200Mhz Vengeance selected, upped it to the Vengeance PRO for €11 more, never spotted the speed drop

Went with the 970 EVO, 16GFB 3200Mhz and changed the case to a be quiet! 802. Thanks for the advice.
