Looks a lot like the build I recommended for the best parts within your $2500 budget. What's the 3080 for? You're at 1080p now, and it's more than you'll need for 1440p. The main reason I put in the 3070 was so the custom build could be compared to the Lynx 4 (which features the 3070 Ti), and stay on budget. If you're going to stay with 1080p, the 3060 Ti is the best bang-for-buck. It will provide great performance at 1080p, and isn't so expensive you want to hesitate to upgrade to a newer tech if the need arises.

I preferred the better motherboard because it fit the budget and was not much more expensive at $79. Better mobos ordinarily contribute better thermal control which is a good thing. It's a full-size ATX board; I'm not a big fan of micro-ATX. Among other better features, it comes with 3 rather than 2 M.2 slots for NVMe SSD storage.

The Corsair PSU recommended is for the 5-year factory warranty. IMHO, the DS branded one is fine with the 2-year warranty upgrade being offered, if it doesn't matter.

I think your build is fine, except for the questionable GPU pick. I still think the Lynx 4 represents a great value for the price in spite of a few compromises.   

if you want something you can grow with/upgrade down the line, i'd steer clear of the End of Line (Intel) Raptor Lake platform and look at the (AMD) AM5 offerings.
