Made the adjustments !

Adjusted the ram to the previous g skill.

Could even go away from the 3080ti and just go with a 3080 for a $200 savings but the $1050 price tag for the gigabyte 3080ti is appealing 😂

Thanks !! And thanks to everyone for all the helpful information.

I figure if you're gonna build a $2700 comp, you might as well go for the gusto.

then hoist it all on some lumber as the stand

I Own everything On this List.
Ram I have XPG , instead of corsair ( Corsair is Fine , I just prefered XPG for the looks )
except I use a Hyper X Cloud II headset, instead of Logitech headset. Logitech headset has some fair reviews, but nothing 5 star.
Instead of the corsair mouse, I have the Razer Naga epic 12 button on the side, with detach-able sides. Just prefer'ed the looks at the time. Most say the corsair mouse is better.



If you already own a copy of windows 10 home/pro , you can use it for windows 11.
Otherwise a Copy of windows 11 is $149.99 DVD , $199.99 USB

Most of these Newer Medium/High-end Motherboards have a Dedicated Sound Chip Built into the Motherboard Supporting 256KB.
This will be way more than enough for Movies/Gaming/You-tube Music ( Including Bass music like Dubstep )

(Kinda Guessing here)
Reason for a Dedicated Sound card ( Recommending Creative Sound Blaster ) , is to listen to that 256KB Rated Music at higher volumes, and to enter studio audio 328KB???
Simply just Allows more Electricity to the Sound Chip to Amplify the audio. ( keeping that crystal clear HD @ a higher volume )
* Normally Only Recommended if using Surround Sound Systems in a very large home, or using Studio level headphones??? *
I'm Sure there are some other Virtual Feature bonuses of having a Dedicated Sound Card when trying to stream live ect.


PS. The Motherboard Comes with a Fancy MSI USB drive 16GB, that has a copy of all the drivers, and Bios.
Motherboard has a BIOS button to Reset Current Bios Settings to Defaults, in case you change something the wrong way.
Button also for loading Bios from USB.
( Stress free, saves you time and hassle of having to pull a battery or jump pins, or Losing your entire hard drive ect )


*** BONUS ***
All Items Can be Found at lower prices.

If size doesn't matter get a full size case,bigger= better air flow=less likely to over heat
Some come with pre-installed fans and plenty of room for wire management

People are abandoning OP's budget

Originally I gave you a cost budget build in SFF, this would be my take on ATX Mid Tower Max Budget

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

@ $2696.48 ~ The performance and value you get in this build will be hard to rival ~ I am not going 12th Gen Intel because it's 30%-40% more money and you wouldn't notice the difference, honestly. They have flash sales every once in a while and get the cost down to 11th Gen Pricing, but they go fast and don't last. Never know when they're going to do those deals (being new gen CPU)

11th Gen Intel is a monster in it's own right and this unit would not only perform amazing, it would look amazing. The only real RGB would be the G Skill Trident Z Royal (Yes, they are Royalty) with a setup of 64GB 4000Mhz RAM and you can turn off/adjust the RGB. This is built for Overclocking if you see a purpose for it, but I doubt you'd ever OC it.

The NZXT H7 case just dropped, reviews are fantastic and come with (2x) 120MM fans. I would take those (2x) 120MM Fans and top exhaust mount them. Then I would take (2x) 140MM be quiet! Silent Wings 3 Fans and mount them on the front intake and take (1x) 140MM be quiet! Silent Wings 3 Fan as an exhaust.

/if you go back to Team T-FORCE DARK Za RAM (2x16GB @ 3600mhz CL18 - still 64GB RAM Total) you can knock off -$152.00 total and if you wanted to go with a similar case you could knock off about another $30-40.

MSI - be quiet - Gold/Dark Build

I care about your wallet and your performance!

You leveled that one up big time, hard to compete with that price. I'd maybe up the MHZ in Ram, that's it really.

Great job!

Thank you to everyone who posted and pm’d builds, advice, critiques,
I really appreciate you all. I sent 1.8k split amongst everyone who helped. I’ll post the final build once the parts are ordered.
