I found an AMD 5800X and a MSI RTX 3080 Ventus available at a PC builder's mercy... so I went with him.
I pretty got everything I wanted EXCEPT the motherboard/case.
Case: Lian Li Dynamic o11 Dynamic
Motherboard: Gigabyte Auros Elite x570
CPU: AMD 5800X
GPU: MSI RTX 3080 Ventus
Harddrive: 1TB Samsung 980 Pro
RAM: 4x8 G.Skill TridentZ Neo @ 3600
PSU: Thermaltake 850W Gold
CPU Cooling: Deepcool Castle E360X
Case fans: Cooler Master Masterfan MF120s (9 of them)
I am not entirely sold on a mid case and this motherboard. I can change them, but the builder is confident it'll be a stable motherboard and the cooling will be plenty. I am not into maximum overclocking but I do like to push it slightly. You guys think this motherboard will handle 4.2ghz properly?
Should I get the Dynamic o11 XL (for added cooling benefits)?

This comparison shows more features for the MSI Unify (which was my original choice), but can't find much on how it handles overclocking and stability. The Aorus seems to do just fine in that area.
Is that why the Aorus Elite is considered entry level? It lacks USB-C, wifi, etc... but as far as system stability and overclocking, it does just fine?
