Building my rig for the first time because I'm getting a desktop after using a laptop the last 14 years. Budget is about $3k before graphics card. Going over the ones on here, @Huberto has what I'm looking at the most. Except I'm going for a new gen 5 motherboard and CPU, the latter not being out yet. I'm not opposed to AMD, I just don't know enough about them but I have heard they've passed Intel.
Would like to go with a white theme and a bunch of RGB products but don't know what is compatible with what. Figure it's going to be ASUS Aurora or Corsair CUE for the software but neither make everything so I'll have to mix and match.
CPU: Intel Core i9-11900K
MBD: ASUS ROG Strix Z590-A Gaming
GPU: ASUS ROG Strix RTX 3080 or 3090
CASE: Phanteks Eclipse P500A or CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB
SSD: SAMSUNG 980 PRO 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 Internal Gaming SSD M.2
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 64 GB or 128GB
PSU: ASUS ROG Thor 80+ Platinum 850W
CPU Cooler: Asus ROG Strix LC 360 or Corsair iCUE H150i
Any help would be appreciated.
