I love building my own rig, I've been doing it since 1998, ever since I put my first VooDoo into a motherboard I've been in love with it.
An RTX 3090 GigaByte Aorus is $3999.99 on Ebay. I fucking hate scalpers. I fucking hate crypto-miners, I hope they all choke on their braces but not really anything to be done about the current situation except play smart.
Resident Evil VIII is coming up next month- the plan is to wait to see if it's really as good as everyone is hoping, but I loved VII and assuming this follow up nails it, I'm looking to upgrade. iBuyPower has rigs that you can customize, and I'm looking at a build that seems very attractive to me.
I need your help, Gaffers. I'm posing a few questions:
1) Is the build I'm proposing (linked below) the optimum build for gaming? If not, can you please give me pointers on how to improve? Assume there is no budget, although I of course want to be cost effective.
2) Why does the iBuyPower metric indicate that the Ryzen 7 5800x provides better performance than the i9 and even the threadrippers? Take a look at the expected performance for CyberPunk (another game I want to play at max settings).
3) Should I do AIO cooling or a tube/reservoir kit?
4) Finally, can you help me formulate a plan so that I can run these next gen games with respectable settings at 60+ fps? I am looking into all of this but I get seriously conflicting reports from various sources.

Also I'd like to get different cases in the custom rig but the building utility seems to restrict cases. Like I can't get the Thermaltake Core P8 in any of these builds.
