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.

Any reason why you're going for a hard drive in 2024? El cheapo NVMe SSDs aren't that much more and are lightyears faster, and will probably be more reliable. Yesterday I picked up a 2tb Sk Hynix P41 for $130 which is absurdly cheap for such a good drive.
Good catch.
I added a hdd because I like having some slow storage for mass storage, but you're right that I won't need it, as I'll probably take my 4tb nvme from my current PC and transplant into the new one as the only storage.
That'll still leave me with a small nvme for OS and software and a spinning disk for mass storage on the workstation.
