+1 on what hoserator said. The Samsung 980 is 12x faster/read and 9x faster/write than the SATA drive. it's a huge mistake at your price point. The only one you made, though.

You don't mention your primary use. If mostly to game on, you may have overshot your CPU need a bit. The extra cores won't help gaming at all, but if you have productivity needs, the 5900x is a very good proc. For gaming, the 5800X is my recommendation.

Hope it helps.

I would do my research on the Rog strix 43 in just because I'm really worried on why it's priced so low as an Rog strix monitor also the title did have a? On the 43 I would just do research before buying that because that's a really good deal for that size and price point


Know if you have the money and your you have the space to go up to 48 in this is the one that I would recommend or I would by myself.

LG OLED48C1PUB 4k/120hz native/hdr/g-sync/ price was around $1300
It's out of stock just went out but something to keep an eye on if your interested.

Originally posted by hoserator You have an Nvidia gpu and FreeSync is for AMD. You should get a GSync or compatible monitor.

I guess I should have mentioned that. If you can find a monitor with g-sync then definitely go for that one but they are scarce.
As for the compatibility I dont belive there is an issue there. Especiialy using a 3000 series GPU. All my research has concluded to me that the only tuing is that you have to manually set up the sync option on the freesync monitors. Here's a reference.

Let me know if I have the wrong info about this.

Also I did sone research on my monitor hence why I went with the ASUS ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B which had freesync premium for my 3080.

Looks solid and good!
