I've finally decided to build a new high end PC and wanted to bounce a draft of my build off of you guys. I'm no stranger to building PCs or electronics in general, but my current one is from 2017, so it's been a little while.

Anyway here's roughly what my overkill build might look like: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=68781196-1a0b-4a9d-9e79-41b82f778fb3

I am open to an AMD CPU and even maybe a GPU, but I'm leaning towards the RTX 4080 because of DLSS and better raytracing and VR performance.

That RAM looks pretty good, I don't know if you guys have any recommendations for fast and low latency RAM.

Also fairly clueless on motherboards and how to check if this will all physically fit inside the case considering how huge the GPUs are these days.

Any tips are appreciated, but basic PC building guides videos are probably not necessary. I have my tweezers and wireless anti static wrist band ready.

Yea finding length of card and clearance of case is probably the main hurdle. Based on selection, think you should be ok, but always best to verify numbers. Didn't look at what card came with, but some additional support might be nice. Some cards come with a support bracket. Otherwise they sell adjustable bars that support the card, or you can just improvise something.
