Please give me some advice for components for a new PC build

[SilverSalaidh]

I need help choosing parts for a new PC build. Here are the components I've selected. I'd appreciate any suggestions for swaps or feedback on my choices.

Part List - AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, Corsair 5000D AIRFLOW ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker

I mostly plan to do gaming + I'm a comp scie graduate so my AI projects are going to be GPU heavy

Hey there @SilverSalaidh,

Hope you're having a good day!

You should go with the Flare X5 kit instead of Ripjaws S5. They are both essentially the same, but since you're going with a Ryzen build, the AMD EXPO support in the Flare X5 is going to come in handy.

Desktop Memory - Flare X5 (DDR5/AMD EXPO) - G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Designed for performance, G.SKILL desktop memory is engineered from hand-selected components and rigorously tested for stability and compatibility.

As for your use case, a 4080 SUPER with its 320 tensor cores is a great choice for AI projects. However, I think you'd be better off with a 7800X3D instead of the 7900X in terms of gaming.
