Good evening everyone, after 10 years served for my i7 4790k, i'm going to pull the trigger on a brand new gaming machine.

After researching like a madman (hello obsessive-compulsive disorder) , I came to this build :

Case : NZXT H6 Flow (small desk)

GPU : MSI Shadow 3X OC RTX 5080

CPU : AMD 9800x3D

AIO : PHANTEKS Glacier One 360D30 DRGB

Fans : 4 x 120mm PHANTEKS D30 D-RGB + 2 x 140mm PHANTEKS D30 D-RGB

PSU : NZXT C1500 Platinum ATX 3.1 ( overkill or PlatiGemini 1200 ?)

RAM : CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 64Go (2x32Go) DDR5 6000MHz CL30

Storage : 1 x 4To Samsung SSD 990 Pro NVMe M.2 Pcle 4.0 (to begin with, more down the road, and even PcIe 5.0 ones when the prices will be okay)

Monitor : ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM (since 27" 4K monitors have more PPI than 32" ones)

My main question right now is "which motherboard to go for".

My researches lead me to the ASRock X870E Nova Wifi (no PcIe lanes hlaved if using 1 GPU and maybe 3-4 M2 slots).

The thing is : here in France, the X870E Taichi Lite (slighty bigger than an ATX mobo) is "only" 50€ more expensive than the Nova Wifi.

Since I'm planning to play a bit with overclocking with this new chip as I did a loooot with my faithful 4790k, I would like to get your advices on this choice and to this whole build in general. Thanks a lot in advance and have a great evening !
