    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    BB had stock at 3pm - lasted less than 10min - they have an annoying queue system in place where you can click it and it say its in high demand and to try again lol

    Solid build, agree with the ram mention and 32GB is most id use for a gaming PC - 64GB is far beyond what you'd use. Cant speak much on the ram but here are some lower CL w/ faster speeds i personally use these...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Neg - I am testing out a G9 atm and not thrilled with it at all - aside from the AR which i do kinda like, the picture is just a hard pass after using an OLED to game on - Also on the OLED front i generally only turn it on when i plan to do something not requiring a static image i guess. Sure...

    Shrug i buy whatever - had a 5700XT for a short period of time - i will admit i hate AMD software compared to Nvidia but all that matters is the frames

    Maybe - hes been pretty spot on thus far - if there is a flood of 3000 series suddenly next month then his GDDR6x spiel was accurate and this was all a ploy to have crazy hype.

    Unlikely since it seems Nvidia is just planning to release the floodgates in november and stop their created shortages - Supposedly something like 300,000 cards of 3080s alone will hit market early november and supposedly even more 3070s will be ready on launch day. Thats ofcourse is MLID is...

    Nah man 3070 for $500? and theyre supposed to be hoarding a nice drop for the release date on that just to f up AMD - Then you have AMD also - No way a 2070 will be at $300 a month from now -

    With depreciation and the gpu market being what it is i wouldnt expect anyone to pay over $600 for that, and thats if youre lucky - Dated low end parts becoming more low end with new cpu's and gpu's coming out - That gpu will be like 200-250 soon on the resell market. The CPU is a toss up since...

    So with a G9 and CX side by side its hard to see why get a G9 - 240hz is broken on the 3000 series or in nvidia drivers in general so it ends up being what would you rather run at 120hz - AR is nice but eh its just doesnt hold a candle to an oled - just wish the oled was smaller I was however...

    All suggestions in the end - you always go with what you feel like - The monitor is from amazon for that price - also same at newegg (or close) and its white to match your theme - Get Windows from Ebay from anyone with over 100 reviews for like 35-60 or so

    Just how much CPU cooling do you need? Artic 360 AIO (i see 2 but i assume youre aiming for white - but if you cant see it through case you could get the artic and 3 white lian li fans) Perhaps better off getting 10600k w/ Z490 Asus Prime Ditch that SSD and get 2 NVME for likely cheaper Good...

    Looks like it will be on Zen4 in 2022 - Sounds about right i figure a 3090 will be good for a couple years atleast.

    Id hope its also where we see DDR5 - in a couple years id imagine we could have some 35 inch OLEDs at 240hz - i think that would be the dream right there, 35-38 seem like the sweet spot for monitors for me.

    Doesnt seem to be any more or less RGB than some of the other X570 boards really - Its almost the the point i question "why"

    That aside im torn on dropping back down to a 38GN950 from the CX48 - When i do game for more than an hour burst it is normally an MMO - I think trying to sustain a decently high FPS on 4k is going to be a battle even for the 3090 - I saw it get as low as 70 in the hub, with max around 108 or...

    Gf doesnt game, i want to get her a 3070 or AMD 6900, may need to downgrade from my CX to something else since WoW@4k seems more demanding at max settings than my other titles even on a 3090. Ofcourse the titles actually play are quite limited and im sure there are more factors but yet and still...

    MSI X570 MEG ACE would be the only other board id consider besides the X570 or B550 Tomahawk - I dont do much in terms of ASUS nowadays.

    That was my hold up - apparently no new motherboards(chipset) but so far ASUS and MSI have announced Ryzen 5000 ready boards that support memory up to 5400 or so. The AORUS Xtreme has the best layout ive seen on a motherboard to date, too bad its so god dam expensive, hopefully they do a layout...

    Yeah so I sold my Cube for 3.5k or so and I had built my gf a pc this summer but her own money. My best friend had me build her a pc about 3 weeks ago but my pc has been on hold for Ryzen 5000 and Nvidia 3000 since end of July. I’ve been using my test bench which is just a 3600 that’s holding my...
