Hello AlphabetZ14, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/gamingpc) if you have any questions or concerns.*
ddr4 on 14th gen.. this hurts me
You probably want DDR5 Ram and should also consider liquid cooling for the GPU. I am personally not a user of a 4080 but I’ve heard many cautionary tales of people having cooling problems on 80s and 90s. Maybe you’re fine, but I’d advise giving it a look.
All of that processing power, just to neuter it with 16GB of DDR4. Why?
16gb dual channel ram for $39 is alarming and a terrible purchase. Now the fun part. There’s literally 0 reason to buy intel in 2023 unless you need it for certain workloads (also if you’re e sports gaming). You now have to buy a 360 aio and a 1000w gold power supply. Lastly, unless you’re running 4k, a 4080 is super duper overkill-and thinking that a 4080 will stand the test of time, or anything besides a 4090 is silly (based on current UE5 benchmarks). 4k=4080-anything less resolution wise and I would go with a 4070/ti/super. The case is cool for the price for sure. Spending $200 on rgb fans is odd, considering you can’t afford 32gb of decent ram. What’s your monitor setup?
