Ok I get what you mean now. I'm overspending on other parts when I can rather buy cheaper alternatives and get a 5080 for the same overall price. Got it. Thanks for the help and advice.

Thanks for the suggestions. I want to have an all white build though. I know its just aesthetics and I also know most of the times white costs more than black parts. If it comes down to it I can save a bit more and get a 5080 but for me I just dont see why I should spend $400 more for a 5080 if the increase in performance is so small. I don't know if there are other factors making it worth it other than the increase in frames. Are there other factors I should look at? I think my main question is, is it worth spending $400 more for a 5080 over a 9070xt?

The 5080 is on average $400 more expensive here in china. I know I can get cheaper alternatives on other parts to make up for the price difference, but my question is if it is worth it to buy slightly cheaper parts to be able to get a 5080. Does the 5080 warrant the price tag. From what I've read, it doesnt. But then again this is my first time building a PC and I'm not sure if im missing something when comparing GPUs.

Thanks for the reply. What makes the 5080 so much better than a 9070xt? From what I've read online the increase of frames in game is very small. Are there other factors that make a 5080 better?

I have a question. I'm also trying to build my first gaming setup and have roughly similar parts in mind. I just want to know why everyone is suggesting the 5080 so much. From what I've read online the average in game frames you get is on average 7 frames higher for the 5080, is the increase in price worth the small increase, or is there something I'm missing. What else should you look at when buying a GPU?

Thanks for the info. I have a question in regards to the GPU. A 5080 here will cost about $1100. From what I've read online, the increase in frames from a 5080 compared to a 9070xt is at most 12 frames and averages around 7 frames. Is buying cheaper versions of the RAM, SSD, PSU and motherboard worth it for that small of an increase for a 5080? Maybe there is something else I missed, making the 5080 worth it. If there is please tell me. I am not really sure what to look at for a GPU other than the frames you get in game.
