Feedback On This Spec <3

Hello I am going to keep this short and sweet, planning on upgrading my desktop and needed some advice.
This system will be used purely just for gaming.
my total budget is anywhere between £2000-£2500

here is my spec:
CASE - CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES 175R RGB TEMPERED GLASS MID TOWER CASE - BLACK
FAN - CORSAIR LL140 DUAL LIGHT LOOP RGB 140MM CASE FAN WITH LIGHTING NODE PRO - TWIN PACK
CPU - INTEL CORE I9-9900KF 9TH GEN PROCESSOR
FAN - CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H100I RGB PLATINUM 240MM LIQUID CPU COOLER
MOTHERBOARD - MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON AC MOTHERBOARD
RAM - CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 32GB (4X8GB) 3200MHZ DDR4 RAM
GPU - GIGABYTE GEFORCE RTX 3080 AORUS XTREME 10GB GRAPHICS CARD
HARD DRIVE- SEAGATE 2TB BARRACUDA DESKTOP HARD DRIVE 3.5" SATA III 7200RPM 256MB CACHE
M.2 - WD BLACK SN750 NVME 500GB M.2 2280 SSD WITH HEATSINK
POWER SUPPLY - CORSAIR RM850 850W 80 PLUS GOLD FULLY MODULAR PSU POWER SUPPLY

Is there any recommendations too change or is there a better setup altogether I can get for the price point. this is what I put together doesn't have to be this setup can be anything as long as I can play in 1440p with good FPS. Please help, thank you all.

P.S please if it could possibly have a nice colour theme that would be appreciated not a priority tho.:)

I’m going to get in here and tell you... you really need to be going for an AMD. I’m sure someone will kindly link the reason why below.

I play all sorts of games from some that dont require much hardware power such as valorant and some that do like cyberpunk lol
I just want something that can guarantee high performance in all game types because I probably wont be making changes to the system for 2-3 years

Hi Ozzy, you mentioned that you wanted to game at 1440p. Do you have a 1440p monitor already or are you looking to buy one? If the latter are you looking for suggestions?

It’s unlikely you’ll need to change anything other than the gpu you in the next 5+ years on my build. If you decide you’re going to want to start streaming or using it as a work station etc, you might want to up the cpu, but for just gaming... the Ryzen 5 should more than cope.

plus it leaves enough budget for a large 1440p 144hz monitor, if you don’t already have one.

What would you recommend if i was too up it and go with something more powerful on the cpu side of things?

The Ryzen 9 5900x and a H115 cooler, but i think this adds something like £300 and only benefits people, will will actively use those cores. But it is in massive demand also, if you don’t see yourself needing it, i wouldn’t go for it.

For gaming the 5600x will be all you need for a long time; unless you're playing MSFS 2020 you won't need more cores.
Specced you the build below, with a 3070 that will pair nicely with this AOC Ultrawide 1440p monitor below. Totals up to around £2460. I added in some RGB RAM because you mentioned a colour scheme, you can switch it out for 3600 non-RGB for the same cost. On the flipside, if you wanted more RGB and have an extra £110 knocking around the Coolermaster H500M is a fantastic case which also has the benefit of 2 ARGB fans.

You've got cores for days with that system. Most gaming won't use over eight cores but there's such a tiny price difference between the 5800X and 5900X that it seems stoopid to NOT go for the bigger, better option. And if you get into streaming, those spare cores will come in handy. If you really want to spend all your budget you could up the RAM to 32GB but the only games that'll benefit from that upgrade tend to be flight sims.

Great build. Nice to see we’re at least getting some Boxing Day sales on monitors. Been pleasantly surprised with some of the monitor prices when I’ve been helping people on here. An HDR-ready Ultrawide IPS for £500 is very nice 🙂

Isn't it just? I'm tempted, but Mrs Cooper would disembowel me if I had that and the AOC in the front room...

You did all the hard work on the build, young padawan. I just steamed in at the end to take all the glory 😜
 
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP, after many specs I decided to go with this spec it came to a total £2,244.00 all ordered just got to play the waiting game now.

also if anyone was curious with what monitor I went with I got the Samsung oddesy G7 which is a

240Hz, 1ms, 1440p QHD, Gsync, QLED​

came to a grand total of £2794.00
