My small update. The Red Devil XT RMA was returned, and everything seems to be working 100%. Only had a minute but re-ran multiple Monster Hunter benchmarks which would consistently crash, 0 failures this time. Played some Last Epoch at max settings for about 10 minutes without issue.

Interestingly it is a new card, but the serial number is the same as the old just with a -1 appended to the end.

That just means, they trash canned the old card. Its so they can keep track of what they are using as replacements so when they go to pay AMD for the chips, they can be refunded for the replacement ones.

I've been eyeing this PC at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DZZJX62Y?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

The price is pretty decent I feel, and Gamers Nexus did a review on another Thermaltake which got a good review from them. I'm pretty sure this one will be as well. Trying to piece parts together strickly from Amazon and not Newegg is almost impossible anymore. I just don't want to deal with Newegg's return policy.

For what it is worth here is my pieced together system from last month. Came out to $2,667.50, pretty sure I accounted for everything when I tracked the build. There were a few small items like fan extension cables, a GPU stand (b/c I didn't notice the Powercolor came with one but it was too tall anyways).

Have a 3060 ti I am using as a backup now. It kind of whines at times. I guess I am in full use it till it burns up mode. If I got a 5070ti or 9070 I "may" have to change out PSU I'm not sure. It's 750watts but I have different connectors and it's a modular PSU but not really sure what I did with those cables and it rapidly gets into more than I want to mess with. So probably go till it goes no more than go with a pre built which I have not done in multiple decades.

Yeah I did a few quick searches for a similar system. Newegg came up a lot, I used to order odds and ends from them but nowdays I most likely would avoid them especially an entire computer. But I'm not very adventerous when it comes to buying stuff.
