Pretty happy with the price and parts for my first time
At the end of this is where I need help.
Storytime:
I came from an Acer Nitro 5 (2019) and I used it till it can't keep up anymore. My friend donated me his Strix g15 since it was on life support, but I made work here and there. It recently kept having TPM 2.0 issues so I couldn't play any online multiplayer competitive games. So, I decided I had to move on and make a dream PC.
I originally wanted the 5080 prebuilt from Costco and I kept waiting for the display unit to be left, but the one day I didn't go was the day it was sold. (I asked the sales associate)
So I made up my mind to make my own, but it was really hard to justify the price for a 5080. And now, here I am.
Reddit and ChatGPT helped me a lot to find good prices and find the right comparisons and I guess I was just lucky with the prices and timing. Initially was hoping to wait until Black Friday but everyone said don't, plus prices shouldn't be that far off from one another.
These past couple of days, made me love this hobby even more. (holy cringe)
I still haven't received most of it, so if better components/prices comes out might change here and there. But, I think this is it.

My concerns for this build are just the 6400mhz ram since I'm hoping I won't have to keep tuning it and is stable 1:1 and probably building it, since the last time I touched a pc, I felt a zap when I was trying to reset the CMOS. It never turned back on (windows vista)
Would welcome any tips for a beginner builder. Also, experiences/tips for tuning RAM for better timings and stability.
Edit: be honest if i overpaid or if i could have done better pls (the fans)
