Finalizing the build: 9800x3d + 5080

I would love to get some help finalizing my options in the build, or maybe finding alternative options, if possible or would make sense.. I am a bit limited for what is in stock in the store I am buying it from. I will note which parts.

Specs:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
    • ( was looking at 9850x3d, but it seems to run more wattage, higher temps and not big uplift and price increase by 70€ )
  • CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB
    • ( originally planned air cooler, but most suggestions ( noctua, thermalright, peerless assassin were not available, the only available was like be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5, is there any better AIOs then this one ? )
  • Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO
    • ( limited to ASUS or Gigabyte options, suggestion was given for B850 or X870, this is where I am struggling the most on what to choose )
  • Memory: Kingston FURY Beast Black EXPO 2x16GB 6000 CL30 or G.Skill Ripjaws S5 2x16GB 6000 CL30
    • ( suggested 6000mhz CL30, for 32gb total ram, if there is any better options lmk )
  • Storage: 2x Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB or Crucial T500 2TB
    • ( samsung is a bit on the higher price side, so any other suggestions would be nice aiming for 2x2TB, unless it would be better to go for 1x 4TB or just 1x 2TB since prices are crazy )
  • GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5080 OC Edition or GIGABYTE GAMING OC RTX 5080
    • ( limited to ASUS or Gigabyte options, other models available: ROG Astral, AORUS Master ICE, Asus PRIME, AERO OC, WINDFORCE OC SFF )
  • Case: be quiet! Pure Base 600
    • ( i am open to any other cases with good airflow, i had some suggestions about Fractal or Lian Li but they are not available in the store - Most cases that are available are from brands like ASUS, Antec, COUGAR, Corsair FRAME, Phanteks, Be quiet! )
  • PSU: Corsair HX1000i 1000W Platinum or be quiet! Dark Power 14 1000W Titanium
    • ( aimed for 1000W, with this two showing up price difference is all but 12€, if anyone knows the quality of either how they fair or alternatives )

Core Build: 9800X3D + 5080 ( Need help building )

Hey, I am looking to build my new PC with 5080 and 9800x3d at its core, would love if anyone has suggestions what goes best with them, I will provide approximate specs what I been looking at, are there any specific brands to avoid or to go for.

My main use case is 1440p gaming, with small side of productivity which in general I assume the cpu & gpu should provide.

My budget has enough wiggle room to change or tweak stuff, if it means giving me better quality and performance.

If possible give me at least 1 or 2 options, just in case its not in stock in my country or it needs long delivery time to get in stock. I am from Europe, Slovenia.

Specs:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D ( was thinking even 9850x3d but it does add a price bump, if its worth it even considering my gpu is 5080 )
  • GPU: Gigabyte or Asus GeForce RTX 5080 ( only got those two brand options in stock in my country )
  • Motherboard: ???
  • RAM: Looking for 32gb or 64gb ram 6000mhz 30cl ( this is what i heard is the best paring with 9800x3d - should i go with 2x 16 or 1x 32 or 4x16 or 2x32 or what is the best in general, if am doing 32gb what is best to then upgrade to 64gb if needed - correct me if i am wrong ) Edited*
  • Storage: 1x 2TB NVMe for main drive, and 2TB SSD ? what brands, previously i had samsung evo
  • Cooler: ??? best cooler for the cpu above
  • PSU: was looking at 1000W just to be safe ?
  • Case: dont really care, any good suggestions to fit it all ?
  • OS: Windows 11

Any extra questions you need me answering let me know..
