High end 5080 build

[ConLi]

l will be using 2 27inch 1440p monitors at least 165hz+ (I've not decided which yet)
My budget is around £3000-£4000(including fast track/warranty)
The pc will be used for Gaming, Livestreaming, Video editing and possibly some flight sim/VR stuff.
So it is expected to be heavily used daily.
Please let me know if there are any changes I can make and why thank you.

I wouldn't have that Samsung drive, they are prone to fail, if just for your games and you want 4TB, I'd go for the slower of the corsair drives

Hey thanks for the info, I've heard this before as well but was told the issues can be mitigated by updating to the latest firmware. Not sure if it's correct and fixes all the issues, but honestly I'll check out the Corsair ones, even the more expensive one since it's not that much of a price difference if the Samsung one is still no good.

The firmware fix hasn’t made them any more reliable unfortunately, even with that they still often fail early, they’re just not worth the money over the more reliable Corsair or SolidGM models

Thank you for letting me know, I will replace the 4tb one with the Corsair one, is it worth spending a little more for the faster speeds one or is the slower one fine, would I even notice the difference?

I take it that's a games drive? If so no benefit from increased speeds.

But you need additional drives for optimal editing configuration.

This is best practice for editing:

1. OS & Application files - Fastest NVME
2. General documents/download files - Red class 7200rpm HDD
3. Project media (video, images, sound, etc.) - Fast NVME
4. Cache files - Fast NVME

Then you want a dedicated games NVME, PCIe 3 is fine with this, but no harm in speccing higher if you have the budget. I always think about transferring that drive to a new system down the line, so always pay a premium for the fastest available for a good price.

Any reason for windows pro?

Rest looks good.

It will be mainly for games yea, I guess the slower one will be fine then thank you.

As for windows 11 pro, honestly that was a missclick I will change it to the basic one now thanks for pointing it out.

So you need to sort out your drives, then you’re good
