Anyone have any thoughts on whether this Seasonic GX-850 is a good fit for a 3080?

I think this might just be a rebranded seasonic focus. The grill looks similar. I see no real reason to even consider this since the original 850W focus is cheaper.

It's not a sale, but essentially another restock notice.

This one sounds like a good bet: https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-GX-850-Full-Modular-Application-SSR-850FX/dp/B07WVMDZMZ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=seasonic+power+supply&qid=1592075099&sr=8-1
It's generally hard to find a decent selection of good PSU's right now because of the manufacturing shortages. This one is only available july 20.
Also the 850w bump from 650w is going to be important to support the ryzen 9 and 2080 super. Those are very power-hungry parts and having the headroom matters. (ideally you want to calculate your total maximum wattage of all machines and have it be 60-80% of what your PSU can handle)

I picked up two of these. They sell out almost immediately so grab it if you want it

Not really, everything there is pretty much as good as it's gonna get. Though I am not familiar with this mortar max...is it better than the tomahawk that's recommended everywhere? Also while 650w will suit you just fine, for the same price, you can get this 750w super high quality psu.

It looks like it comes with 3 separate pci-e cables here is the link and the 6th image shows all the cables it comes with. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WVMDZMZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah I was looking at the Lian Li 011 case and the Thermaltake Core P5 for nice white cases. As for the mouse I love my g502 so I’m sticking with that.
For the PSU I was thinking of buying this one. Would you say this is solid enough for a Zen3/3080 build?

It was up on Amazon a few days ago. It's now sold out.
There's a Seasonic Focus GX-850 Gold 850 on Amazon for $140 that's available now.

Edit: Yes, the restart has happened on windows maybe once (however I do not use my windows partition much)

750w is low.
1kw is nice for headroom but possibly overkill.
Your budget will give you many options of Tier A power supplies.
My advice: either a Super Flower Leadex III or Seasonic Focus Gold. Both are seller units.
https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-iii-sf-850f14hg-850w/p/1HU-024C-00005?Item=9SIAMNPAY43503&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social--sr--9SIAMNPAY43503-_-12032020
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WVMDZMZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_Y.pYFbRC50GCV
1kw options are anywhere from $50 to $100 more than the 850w option.

Actually it's in stock for shipping on In stock on September 6, 2020. https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-GX-850-Full-Modular-Application-SSR-850FX/dp/B07WVMDZMZ/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=psu&qid=1596589912&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&sr=8-14

It's a pretty typical price for right now.
FYI, your regional pricing may be different, but the GX-850 is $140 on Amazon and will be restocked on 11/11 on Amazon. The Corsair 850W RMx is also $145 on NewEgg. Not sure if that's helpful or not based on your region.

Yes you can control the fans in the BIOS, some motherboards allow for fan control via the voltage and if the fan is PWM then you're able to do full control by actual percentages.
As for the PSU I'm not sure how much you're wanting to spend however there are some really good options that are going to be in stock via Amazon.
Seasonic Focus GX 850W Gold $139.99 in stock June 24
Seasonic Focus GX 650W Gold $109.99 In stock June 29
I would suggest the 850W since it seems that's around the Corsair you chose. It's still fully modular and Seasonic is considered by some the best supplier/maker of PSU's.
Both are available to order now
As for the fans, if you're using them as case fans. The Arctic 12 PWM will do you just fine. Personally I can't justify spending over $20 for case fans, and arctic makes high quality products and recently their new AIO's are rated one of the best by Gamers Nexus which is a YT channel that does heavily extensive research and analysis of products, and that AIO uses the fan's I added into the list which means they were designed to be used in static pressure situations.
As for a comparison of the fans to the major competitors like Noctua/BeQuiet!/Corsair/Fractal I would say they compete. But as for case fans, they'll do amazingly and with 3 added as intakes they'll perform amazingly. What I did for my front intake is I also bought a PWM Fan splitter which is $10 so I could control all three of the fans off 1 PWM fan header on the MOBO.
Additional note about the case I chose
The Fractal Design Meshify C comes with 2 included case fans (1 rear exhaust and 1 front intake) if you go with that case/this list I would suggest to install the intake as a top exhaust and put all 3 of the other fans as front intakes. You will have great airflow throughout the case.
As for the aftermarket cooler. TBH I just kinda threw it in there to hit all the bases, plus its nice and quiet. If you don't want it you can just scrap it and save $49 or reallocate that money towards something else like an x570 motherboard that will get you on a chipset that will really future proof any upgrades. More storage or get a different NVMe SSD or a 1TB version, different case etc. You could get better RAM timings by a slight marginal increase to really dig deep. It's really up to your wants and needs on that one. As it stands on this list, the extra $50 won't get you something that's gonna increase the performance of the PC by a huge margin.

It is a very good idea to get more, since the industry is moving, as you can see. For years 50% of enthusiasts argued against it, saying a 550w unit is enough, but... the PSUs are most efficient and silent usually at 50-60% load. As soon as your consumption jumps higher, ity starts heating up - hence better "japanese" caps are a good thing on a PSU. And now the nvidia 3080/3090 changed the PSU requirements a bit too. I did go 850w already...
What BeQuiet DP11 has as "cons" are - their non-standard periferal connectors (slim line) and the wired main cable, which is not an actual con, as you must wire one anyway.
If I had to buy one - and buy today - taking into account all the warranty etc, I'd go with the following options:
- Money is not a problem - the $160 Seasonic 850 PX Platinum with the extended Amazon return window till Jan31, 2021: https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-PX-850-Full-Modular-Application-SSR-850PX/dp/B07W4PMQDJ
- In between (my son has a 750w unit) - the $145 Corsair RM850x Gold efficiency (again return policy, plus Corsair warranty support) https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-RM850x-Certified-Modular-Supply/dp/B079H5WNXN/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=corsair+rm850x&qid=1603951245&s=electronics&sr=1-1
- A solid $140 850w Seasonic GX gold unit, with the same extended Amazon return policy and nice warranty: https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-GX-850-Full-Modular-Application-SSR-850FX/dp/B07WVMDZMZ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=seasonic+focus+gx850&qid=1603951192&s=electronics&sr=1-1
One thing to mention, the warranty support on all companies is a bit "touchy", but with Corsair and Seasonic it's at least a well oiled machine in US.

Noice build really. Only 1 thing that is 100% worth changing. Get the newer GX model of that power supply. The focus plus is dated, and more expensive because people still just google focus plus.https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-GX-850-Full-Modular-Application-SSR-850FX/dp/B07WVMDZMZ
32gb of 3600cl16 for that price is great. Wouldn't bother getting more.If you are into overclocking RAM https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083VN3CP1/ref=twister_B084CVBFW1?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 is a solid kit too. The $150 non-rgb isn't in stock or that would be a much easier recommendation.
...Just some subjective stuff below too.
That's a really expensive mobo. Have you considered MicroATX form factor for a smaller overall build size? Lots of great case options these days, and the B550M Mortar is solid for a 3900x.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089CSPTRH?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
4TB barracuda is worth over the 2.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D9C7SQH?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
