Hello,

This is my new build I have ordered, specifically for gaming. I am going to be installing the RTX 3080 on this when its out! Do you have any advice/recommendations on this build? Im worried that the CPU cooler won't fit?

I have a 1440p monitor at 144hz

Id really appreciate your feedback, and Ive only just placed the order so I can cancel and reconfigure if I really really needed to! cheers!

What's your budget?
No point ordering a 3080 for a 1440P build
Can you also post the configuration link as it makes it a lot easier to tweak it for you

so 3070 for a 2k monitor ? I want a build that will last a few years without having to upgrade

You never overspec the GPU, you spec it to the monitor you have. If you overspec, by the time you require that extra power there will be newer GPU's out that have better features for cheaper.

By overspeccing the GPU you actually get worse performance and pay more over the long term.
