Why 64GB RAM? Half that is the max I'd suggest for gaming, and the money would be better invested in speed rather than quantity. Doesn't Ryzen in particular benefit from faster RAM?
Might want to consider a HDD. 1TB doesn't go very far these days.
Can't comment on the physical compatibility but it all looks ok otherwise. 700W PSU seems to be the minimum recommended for the 3080, but I have a power meter and the most it's ever drawn from the wall is 580W and with way more shit that you'd be running.
Edit: Having checked, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance 4000MHz DDR4 is actually slightly more expensive. Still don't think the extra 32GB would be of any benefit whatsoever, unless there's something specific you need it for?

What about this? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/b2nJNP
Concern appears to be case size, based on the notes it offers - not enough info to determine whether the PSU or CPU cooler will fit. Definitely like the case I think. Black or silver.
Will wait until the 12th and see what gets released then but may start picking up some other bits so I can be using it by say the end of Feb, GPU notwithstanding. (One of the reasons I was looking at the 3090 - at least I don't have to wait for one).
