Take whatever you can get :D No but for real, it's going to be a bloodbath trying to get any of these. It all depends on what you want to do. I've read things that if you want to switch over to 1440p 144hz, 3080 is the way to go. 3070 is good but the 3080 will give you that umph. And, the 3080 is like $700 MSRP so if you're desperate enough to pay $650+ for a 3070, just put forward the extra cash for the 3080. 3060 TI is on par or better than the 2080S so you can go from there. Any of these cards will last you for the next couple of years.

Someone found links for the upcoming 3060 TI release on Newegg. These badboys are probably going to be a lot harder to get your hands on but they are cheaper at a speculated price of ~$450. NVIDIA claims they perform as well or better than the 2080 Super which is wild because the 2080S is a $750 card. I would get one if you don't want the 3070 or you can't get on. I originally planned on getting the 3060 TI but I got tired of waiting for the release. I'm going to get whatever I can get my hands on. https://www.refresh.systems/hot-list/gaming/graphics-cards/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-ti

Ryzen 5 5600x and a 3070/3080. I'm telling you right now, you are not going to be able to get a 3070 or a 3080 next month. People have been attempting to buy these for months now with no luck. You gotta get really lucky when they restock or you gotta bot one. ZOTAC restocks their 3070s a lot but they aren't the ideal 3070 to get. A 3070 is a 3070 so if you want to get one, try for it. I'm in a Discord that tracks 3070/3080 drops and it pings you when a retailer restocks. If you're building or upgrading these days you are going to want to upgrade to a RTX Ampere card or the new AMD Big Navi cards. They're both extremely hard to get now because scalpers and bots are scooping up everything. You will end up paying a round $600-$700 on a RTX 3070 if you are desperate enough and can't nab one at retail. I've had a couple of offers so far for 3070s that I have turned down because I don't want to overpay too much for the card. I've been offered $600 that I absolutely regret not taking and $650 that I was more iffy on. I was also offered to buy a $560 MSRP card for $730 from some moron in the NVIDIA Discord. You just gotta get lucky... Browse /r/hardwareswap on Reddit if you want to buy one used or sealed. Like I said though, you'll be paying $600-$700 anywhere that is not retail. Here's a document that will tell you everything you need to know on how to secure a 3xxx card: https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/14M3rQQSWW4OPgnRkxbMr1hTEBEwPm3449KINbJJgGA8/mobilebasic Good luck. I have been trying myself for a while. What @deliriumsaid about watercooling is true. I thought about getting an AIO but my dear friend @vinylshowed me the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4. It is an absolute bitch to install but it's worth it. I get really good temps compared to the stock AMD cooler and it is fairly quiet. It is absolutely massive though so you might have to check if you have clearance for RAM or whatnot. oh, and find someone with tiny hands to help you install it. I put this together for you. PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($299.99) CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($89.90 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard ($184.84 @ Amazon) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($109.99 @ Best Buy) Storage: Western Digital SN750 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($62.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB XC3 ULTRA GAMING Video Card ($559.99) Total: $1307.70 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-11-24 09:02 EST-0500 I put in the prices for the CPU and GPU manually because they are not in stock anywhere. It's going to be a pain to source either but it is completely worth it. No point in getting anything else if you aren't dying of desperation to get a new system. As for the case, get whatever you want lol. It's your preference and the design you like. I'm not going to shove a case down your throat. Keep your current storage and add that NVME I put in the list. I don't think I'm forgetting anything? You could look into getting another AMD Ryzen CPU. Those things are really great and you seriously can't go wrong with them. No point in getting an Intel CPU nowadays. You could also get a different motherboard. I'm not too knowledgeable on them but I picked that one based off of personal experience. Idk. Good luck, champ. Adding this: Ryzen 7 3700x is on sale right now for $279 at Best Buy. It is also a really good CPU and it is a nice alternative if you cannot find the 5600x. I recommend browsing /r/buildapcsales for some nice deals. Sometimes retailers make stupid errors and you can cop nice parts for stupid cheap prices. There are also times where there are just some really good sales that aren't marketed that well. I'm finding a lot of really good deals on things right now like cases, storage, CPUs, etc. and it isn't even Black Friday yet. Right now and Black Friday would be the best time to buy parts if you can, @fantastic.

I'm craving 7 days for free right now.

Congratulations. Well deserved to all of you.

Several month later update. I have really been enjoying it. I love this car, no ragrets. Sounds nice, feels nice, drives nice. I see myself owning this car for a decent amount of years and maybe I'll move onto some other cool Korean car like a 2019 Veloster Turbo. I have always loved Japanese cars a lot and I have been indifferent on Korean cars but I have grown to love Korean cars. Can't miss.

Thank you gentlemen.

MAGIX Fast Cuts for quick edits. I use Sony Vegas Pro 16 but it can get pretty annoying pretty quickly and it lags a bit sometimes. Adobe makes really good video editing software and it's pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it.

I take back everything I said. This shit fucking blows. I haven't experienced back pain like this since I was washing dishes at my dad's restaurant. Everything is so cheap. The arm rests are so squeaky. I ordered a replacement part for the seat mechanism and if anything, it made it all worse. The seat is tilted and I literally cannot do anything to fix it because it's the way it is mounted. Now all my settings are gone. I'm sitting here. In pain. With none of my settings. My back hurts. I mean, it was fine but my old seat mechanism would tilt forwards and backwards ever so lightly, even while locked. My arm rests aren't at an equal height and they squeak with the slightest bit of movement. Now my seat isn't turning as freely as it would and it tilts forward and backwards so much more. The headrest is so awkwardly positioned. it's almost as if I am not supposed to use it the way it is intended. I'll sell it for $380 cash. Local pick up only... To put the icing on the cake, I waited a month for this thing to come in. I ordered it in May and it came in June. The seats pretty comfy... the backs pretty comfy too.. except for right now. My back HURTS. Don't buy this @Black Rain Reject comfortable office chair... Return to stool

Hyperx alloy. Comes with or without numpad. Good keyboard. Don't build your own. Not worth it.

Been craving sandwiches so I had a shot at making grilled cheese with pepperoni and tomatos. I started off by toasting only one side of the toast and then when I was satisfied with the toasty-ness of it, I put them on a plate. I put the toasted side face down and layed a slice of pepperjack cheese on the untoasted side. On top of that I put on this Mexican blend which was something like cheddar, colby, and monterey jack. After that, I took a single slice of pepperoni and cut it up to fit the sammich. I put the tomatos ontop of the pepperoni and sprinkled garlic salt, black pepper, and basil flakes ontop of it. I then topped it off with more of the Mexican blend. I put the second slice of toast face down so that the toasted side would melt the cheese as I cooked it. I then buttered up the skillet again and toasted both sides. Came out really good. I ate one this morning and then another one when I got home from work. I ended up making like 4 in total for my dad, mom, and brother. I'm going to figure out some more ways to spice it up and make it different but this is it for now. I really enjoyed it.
