Hey guys, I'm putting together a new build for the first time in a few years and I'd appreciate it if y'all would give it a once-over to make sure I'm not missing anything or way overspending on something.
The budget is around $3k for everything, most performance use will be high refresh rate gaming but it'll be used for school as well. (Coding and video/3D rendering). I will have to use WiFi instead of ethernet, and the more USB ports the better.

The basics are
5800x
MSI b550 Gaming Carbon
TEAM 32GB 3200c16
~RTX 3080/RX 6800XT GPU once reviews are out and stock is in
Corsair RM850x
Fractal Design Meshify 2
Acer XV272U 1440p 170hz
The parts I'm least sure about are the Motherboard and RAM.
I haven't kept up with motherboards and it seems like there are hundreds out there, so if there are better alternatives please let me know. I plan to run the 5800x under a 360mm rad of some sort and manually tune the RAM, so a reasonably high end board seems useful. I also connect everything wired so I'll use at least 6 USB-A ports and it'd be nice to not have to get behind the tower to plug and unplug constantly. The case also has front panel type C 3.2 so I need that header. I wanted the x570 Gaming Edge, but it doesn't have an onboard header. Most mid-range x570 boards are missing one, it sucks.
For RAM the 3200c16 should be fine but I know someone who could use it, so if I have an excuse to go faster would it be worth it with zen 3? 3600c16? 4000c18? I plan to buy after I get the motherboard, so I'll be sure to check the QVL.
I'm also curious about Artic's reputation for aios. It seems better than the NZXT x73 for ~$50 less, but NZXT's warranty is much longer.
Thanks guys, if you have any questions feel free to ask.
