What resolution is the monitor, please?

If we're assuming it's 1440p, the following spec with a 3070 would be a much better proposition than the Intel...

With this you've got plenty of fast storage, a top of the range cooler to keep your CPU chilled and a fully modular power supply with extra headroom that'll cope with upgrades over the years. I've dropped the sound card as the on board audio on the motherboard is excellent. For your uses 32GB of RAM would be a bit excessive so I opted for 16GB with a higher frequency and a bit of RGB because... shiny.

If I'm incorrect in my assumption and your monitor is either 1080p (I hope not!) or 4K let us know, we can tweak the spec accordingly.

A 5900X seems a bit unwarranted for gaming, a 5800X is already a premium/luxury for it, other than that I like it.
Im biased towards the Strix motherboard though.

Stick a nice 1440p Ultrawide on that and youve got a beautiful system, but question remains what you want to use it for? (Assuming gaming but anything else?).

Yes it's simply a gaming computer, love the suggestions, it's the older rog swift 2560x1440 144 hz, can't remember exact model off the top of my head but it's g sync,

in that case I'd go with the @AgentCooper build, so save it as a quote and when you call them, give them the quote number & they should hopefully be able to sort you

Question about @AgentCooper spec build, the case is better for cooling I guess? Also the gfx card am I not better to go for the 3080 even tho its longer wait times, another quick question is on the 3 storage, the 500ssd for operating system and the 2tb ssd for games? Not sure if I would need the other 2tb hdd, thoughts? And also some games I know like rust are processor intense, will this one be good enough or am I wrong about processor's needing to be good for alot of games, sorry for the wall of text

Get a 3080 if you want to buy a G9 monitor. Otherwise get a 3070, it will suit your needs perfectly.

Everything else in Coops build is top of the line in terms of gaming, as for Rust and questioning the 5800X the 5800X is one of best CPU's available in fact I would say it is "THE" gaming processor to have. Sure the 5900X and the 5950X are available but they are more for production as opposed to gaming.

Storage can easily be added to and if you want a HDD for things like photos, videos, etc then add one but these can be fired in at any time

Sorry mate the monitor is a Samsung G9, have a look on google it's a monster of a thing but what you would need to make use of the 3080.

On the case I think he suggested that case because it looks great, offers great airflow and it's large enough to comfortably fit your components plus any extras or upgrades you want to add later

This is what I ended up changing my order too, set me back a little over 150 extra and cut my position for the 3080 by 2 weeks but I think I've made the right choice, thanks all for your help and advice, the long wait starts 🤣
