Motherboard/PSU advice needed for a 5800x/3080 build

Hello and thank you for looking over my parts list!

Edit: Updated my PCPartPicker list with the latest changes. Going to keep the Aorus Master motherboard, as I plan to do a fair amount of OC to make sure everything plays nice together. This is all to be used for gaming at 1440 @ 144hz. Looks like any good 850w 80+ Gold PSU will do. I've swapped that over to Corsair since they make great PSU's and Cable Mod custom cables also has full kits for them. Thank you everyone!

So it has been a long time since I've fully built a computer. My current rig is an i5-2500k @ 5ghz, 780ti, and 16gb of ddr2 ram, so definitely in dire need of an upgrade.

In my past I've done a fair amount of overclocking for my own personal rigs, so I went ahead and chose this motherboard after looking over several reviews.

Mostly looking for someone to review the motherboard and possibly recommend others with standard overclocking features that might be less overkill. I know the motherboard is very good from professional reviews.

I'd also appreciate advice on the PSU, as I don't really know what makes a good one these days. 80+ Plat/Titanium weren't a thing the last time I purchased one. Are those ratings necessary? Is it better to have more overhead wattage or keep it closer to the estimated needed for the system?

Also, I keep seeing beautiful builds with power cables that all align nice and pretty. I'm assuming those are kits or extensions of sorts, so if anyone can recommend some to me I'd be appreciative.

Ultimately, I'd like to run a 5900x in this system, but I've only been able to get my hands on a 5800x. I know they aren't the sweet spot for gaming with their price, but it is what it is.

No budget on this build.
