Is this purely for gaming? Are you running some really heavy games with lots of mods? I only ask as 64GB RAM is beyond overkill for almost everything gaming related...I game and stream and don't even come close to using up 32GB

Drives: Avoid Samsungs for M.2 drives as they have had reliability issues in recent times.

Everything else depends on usage, monitor (the GPU is matched to the monitor to ensure you aren't overspending...ie you are going for the 4080 Sper which is a high-end 4k card so anything less than a high-end 4k monitor and it would be a waste of money)

Thanks,
I will be using it for running some applications in background that would use ram.
What m2 would you suggest? Solidigim?

Also is there a point of going with x870e or should I pick x670e.
Don't think I would be using usb4 in near future.
Basically I have money to spend on PC and want to get something that will last for few years.

In post 2 we asked for some specific information which you completely ignored.

Once you've given the information as requested, then we can advise.

Rather than hassle us, perhaps understand that you're the one that hasn't given what's been requested of you for us to be able to help.

Maybe I'm not really real, am I a digital ghost? Is that what's happening? Is it only me and the old regulars that can see what I type? Or is the matrix breaking down and all the bots are going loopy?

Extremely unbalanced build, pity that you didn't listen and provide the information requested.

You didn't answer all the questions asked initially so it's difficult for us to answer your queries with any accuracy or certainty . What background applications running whilst gaming use 32GB+? What monitor do you have so that we can be sure you aren't spending hundreds of pounds pointlessly on an over-powered GPU?

Even ignoring the GPU, you are spending around £400 unecessarily on parts that will add no benefit to a gaming system.

This will be the last time before you're kicked out for trolling.

Once you've answered the bullet points in the first response, then we can help out.

This is blatantly trolling, I don't know why I'm still bothering to be rational

It will be for MT4 or MT5 (meta trader), looking for 10 instances (not sure if you know that application, it is for Forex trading and crypto as well) at the same time to use it to play games. That is why RAM capacity.
Would be using it also for video rendering and streaming., etc. I don't want to go with intel 14th gen due to the latest issues.
Want to make sure all are compatible, check if I can pick items that can last longer, are not faulty
For example why people are saying samsung 990 pro is worst that other apart from the cost? cost is not relevant to me. I want the best equipment from what I proposed.

Is that make sense?

So as we’ve already stated so many times and you’ve ignored from the very start, you still haven’t provided what’s been asked for.

I don’t think this forum is going to be able to help you at all if you’re not going to be courteous enough to read our requirements to help.

I’d suggest somewhere like toms hardware
