Heya,
I could use some help, as I am looking build a PC for the first time in 10 ish years.
I'm looking to convert my current system from a gaming/creative workstation into purely a creative work station and then build a new pc for gaming.
I have a ROG Strix RTX 3080 OC that is ready to go into the new gaming pc, but I need to get everything else.
I have a good 180hz 1440p screen, so high fps 1440p is my goal.
These are the parts I've put together currently.
I lean towards AMD for CPU as that's what's served me well with my workstation.
I went with something that is likely overkill for CPU cooling, but my hopes are to upgrade this PC little by little as time goes on.
PSU is also overkill, but that is because I hope to snag a 2nd hand 4090 within too long, or potentially new 5090 further down the line.
I would probably also need some case fans, but I am unsure which or how many.
I would appreciate any guidance.

Yes! I'll be transplanting a 4tb nvme I currently have into this new build. The HDD was entirely a mistaken leftover.
Do you have any suggestions for another board? I gotta admit motherboards are what I knew least about.
GPU will definitely be the bottle neck for the time being.
I would suggest a X670E Aorus Master if you have the cash, otherwise X670 Aorus Elite AX. I can't justify the price of MPG X670E Carbon.
Thank you for the suggestion. When researching x670 boards I also found the ASRock X670E Steel Legend, which seems to occupy a similar space to the Aorus Elite AX, but perhaps slightly better. Do you know anything about that board?

Thank you! That was very informative!
I like ASRock. There's a lot of fans of their ASRock Taichi boards being on the level of Gigabyte Master boards.
I thought Steel Legend was on the lower end, but if there's a X670E version of Steel Legend, I would have full faith and confidence in that one.
