Hi, looking for some help with my build. It will mostly be used for gaming but also used for things like video editing, work and multitasking. I use a 1440p ultra wide alienware monitor and have my 2nd monitor on a 4k tv. I currently have a rtx 2080 ti graphics card but hope to upgrade at some point if 3080s ever become available again (lol). Not sure what motherboard/cpu cooler im needing without over spending. Any help or suggested changes would be appreciated. Thanks

I think you'll have to boost a few components to help with the 5900X...

Case
NZXT H511 MID-TOWER GAMING CASE (BLACK)
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.8GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard
ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0) - ARGB Ready! - the 5900X needs a much better motherboard
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 16GB) - faster RAM helps everything
Graphics Card
NONE, I ALREADY HAVE A GRAPHICS CARD
1st M.2 SSD Drive
256GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (1900 MB/R, 1100 MB/W) - it's tiny, but I assume you'll be putting your own, bigger drives in, so this is about the slowest/smallest I'd want for a boot drive.
Power Supply
CORSAIR 850W RMx SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
Corsair H115i ELITE CAPELLIX RGB Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler - much better/newer/quieter than the PCS offering and will really help cooling the 5900X without causing lots of noise
