[Build] New build, opinions, advices needed

Looks like a very powerful system!  It'll be great - remember to take your time - read over the case and motherboard manuals before building.

Well guys, 

First of all thank you for all the answers.

I finally bought the new machine from Amazon and all the parts are being shipped to me. Here is the specs of the new machine:

Case: Corsair 5000D Airflow Black

MOBO: Gigabyte Z590 Aorus ultra DDR5

CPU: Intel 12th i7 12700K

RAM: 4x16gb Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 5600Mhz CL36

PSU: Corsair RM1000x

GPU: Gigabyte RTX3080TI Gamming OC 12GB

COOLER: Corsair Hydro H150i Capellix RGB

FANS: 7x Corsair SP120mm Elite RGB

CABLES: Corsair Kit Pro Black

SSD1: Samsung 980PRO 2TB Nvme - only for Sim installation 

SSD2: WD SN750 1TB 

SSD3: Kingston A2000 1TB - Windows

HDD: Seagate 2TB for backups and storage

HEADSET: Corsair Virtuoso RGB SE Black

I will mantain the same montor, LG35WN65 (3440x1440).

So wish me luck because i will connect everything by myself and it will be the first time.

I built an almost identical machine a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been very pleased with the results.

One thing I’d recommend is undervolting the 3080TI, I did this and it made a b8g difference to the GPU temp and power draw of the card with no degradation in performance. 
 

I’ll be interested to see how you get on

I assume you bought a Z690 and NOT a Z590?

It is really quite simple, I used this tutorial which was very well explained

With the Fenix A320 I find it better to lock the FPS to 30 as it is very smooth with every setting maxed out or on ultra. I am currently on a 2 hour leg and my 3080TI is sitting around 64 degrees celsius with a boost clock of 1920 MHz and power draw of only 234 watts with the undervolt in place. I haven't even tried seting the switch on the card to the overclock position, I only found this by accident a week ago lol
