Well, dunno how well this will go. Noticed that a vendor has some 3060s in stock and I've been considering an upgrade. Problem is I am totally braindead and do not have the energy to sift through all these marketing words so I would appreciate some advice! Other than the graphics card I'm looking for something with a beefy CPU.

Location: Sweden

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor (kr2922.00 @ Amazon Sweden)
CPU Cooler: Dunno, I prefer watercoolers because they're quiet but I've had a hell of a time getting them to fit in cases because I'm bad so :shrug:
Motherboard: Dunno
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory (kr803.13 @ Amazon Sweden)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory (kr803.13 @ Amazon Sweden) (I already own one set of these in my current build, not sure if I can/should reuse them)
Storage: 2x 1TB SSDs and a 250gb M2 SSD that I already own
Video Card: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GAMING Z TRIO LHR ? The store also has some MSI GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GAMING Z TRIOs in stock and I cannot tell the difference other than the fact that TIs are slightly better. They have way more TIs in stock than the other, is there a particular reason why?
Case: I currently have one of the Fractal cases, looks like a Define R5. Wouldn't mind a new case though
Power Supply: Currently have an overkill corsair 1000W one

Any advice on what I should fill in the missing bits with or replace?

I've got two fried PSU-to-wall outlet cables in a week. One cable dying is whatever, two is sus as hell.

The first fried cable was connected to a surge protector strip, I did notice the light was dimmer than it should be so I replaced it.

However, the second cable was directly connected to the same wall outlet and I have confirmed the computer won't power on even if it's using a different outlet.

The computer boots fine with a third new-from-the-cable-box cable but I'm not sure I should be turning it on? Does anyone have an intuition if it's the wall outlet or my PSU frying things or how to check? Im not sure how a wall cable even gets fried.
