That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange Aeons even Death may die.
It looks quite awesome to be honest. The problem is I don't have money for a new monitor so I'll wait for that haha mine now is quite average, 2014 stuff
Nothing wrong with getting a real NVMe drive that outperforms all the others. Those ones for $100 are usually just a SATA standard m.2 and not actual NVMe.

Absolute overkill for WoW. Moving to my 1080 Ti from my 970 hardly changed things other than the GPU load going lower.
The real games that your GPU will matter for will be games like RPGs and FPSs, more modern games in general.
Now, when WoW gets raytracing in Shadowlands, obviously that will be more taxing... Based on screenshots though, it won't make a very big difference other than people and objects being able to have more than one shadow based on light sources. It will be a performance hit with little to notice on the screen.
Now... were you to buy this monitor:

And play on that...
Then I'd say the 3080 is absolutely warranted.
Its a waste of money. You will quite literally see zero benefit from the Samsung drive vs a Crucial or Kingston drive. You WILL notice that you spent 250$ for literally no reason instead of spending 100.

Since WoW is still single-core CPU bound, youll still gutter below 60fps. Not frequently, but itll hapoen. There is no amount of money that can fix it. As for “average” frame rates, particularly where CPU bottlenecks arent an issue.. well over 150fps with all of the non-CPU bound settings maxed out. Draw Distance, Enviro Detail, and the 3rd setting in that group are all CPU dependent, and going from 7 to 10 will cut uour framerate in half and youll see almost zero visual fidelity increase.
99% of the time, well over 100fps, probably over 150. In non-open areas, even higher, likely. My 1080Ti gets ~200fps in enclosed areas or small areas (like WSG and the smaller BGs) at 1440p.
1% of the time, no matter what you do, itll gutter below 60fps. Usually during Raid fights when Bloodlust is popped and draw calls escalate, or in a large PvP situation where dozens of players pop up simultaneously, or where its a sustained fight with 50+ characters on the screen.
Itll recover pretty quickly, most of the time.
But itll happen. It wont matter how much money you throw at it. Its a part of the nature of a secure client server setup - the game engine has to wait for responses from the network thread (the server) before it can even begin to calculate draw calls and send them to the GPU.
You could have a 7ghz CPU under LN2 and it wont matter.
