Just managed to snag an RTX 5080 at MSRP and I'm planning my build. With the card drawing up to 360W maximum and featuring 10,752 shading units with 336 tensor cores, I want to make sure I don't bottleneck this beast. Looking at 4K gaming primarily. Should I go with Intel 14th gen or AMD 7000/9000 series? What's the sweet spot for pairing with this GPU without overspending? Budget is flexible but reasonable. Thanks!
