What do you guys think, is this a good setup or can it be more efficient. I can't afford RTX 4090 at the moment so that's why I am going with 4080. Any advice much appreciated

It's hard to say, I would say 75% gaming and 25% creating. Indeed I don't know any details how to compose a good Desktop, just want to be good and last me a couple of years. My current PC has 6 years now, and it's started to get slow now.

None. Id go with AMD.

No point in repeating myself so check the specs and budget there

Sorry got preoccupied but I had same feeling as B4 🙂 with those specs as well I’d be looking at a 1440p set up rather than 1080p
You will notice the difference

Indeed. And you could prob get the 4090 and do 4K
