Pros

5080 graphics card (+20% performance from the 9070XT; can get this OC'd PNY or the ASUS Prime 5080 for $75 more)
Parts used: Gpu: ASUS prime 5080
The price difference is substantial, with the 5090 costing CAD 3760+tax for ASUS TUF 5090 compared to the CAD 1450+tax for ASUS Prime 5080(have it for over a month)

Cons

Why even go that high? Why not a Asus Prime 5080 and save money?
The metal I/O on my GPU (ASUS PRIME 5080) is so long that it hits the back plate preventing it from being seated all the way in.
