Buy those bundles with graphics card, then sell the graphics card.
I apologise beforehand for my off-topic rant, but i have serious issues with this comment
FIRSTLY, why do you want to support the miners????
EVERY card taken off the retail channel means one less card for a gamer.
This means that any attempt to circumvent the system is a goal against the gamers, and a win for the miners
Miners have their own mining queue with their own prices and stock allocation. That is the proper channel for miners to get their cards.
Miners are in a better position than gamers, to pay the Mining Tax.
2. Miners are using Graphic cards as a tool of the trade. This tool generates revenue.
3. Games are a luxury and to most gamers, they don't generate revenue from gaming ( i say MOST gamers )
Some will argue that the restrictions impact upgraders as well. But i think as a whole, it is time for upgraders to move on from their old systems to the new. Coffee Lake and Ryzen are good platforms that represent good value as compared to the older platforms circa 2014 and below.
PUBG works fine still with the older cards. Just not as efficient.
I've seen upgraders skimp on system specs to go for budget G series procs, yet don't bat an eyelid to spend more than $200 on a keyboard mouse headset... So why not shift the budget abit from that fancy keyboard mouse and headset to a better graphic card / cpu? This is something that you have to balance between reflex and eyecandy but IMO, you can generally achieve the similar performance with a $100 budget for a keyboard mouse and headset combo, than a $200 or more combo
Another thing is OC. If one is not into OC, one can run perfectly fine stock. One incurs additional problems and costs when one decides to go into OC, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SPENT on a higher spec CPU / GPU in the first place. OC is a privilege, not an entitlement.
Eg: i see many dumping Hyper Evo 212/AIO into a base build, specifically for OC purposes but honestly speaking, how much can that help? That money would have been better spent on a higher spec proc/gpu.
Intel platform upgraders will probably be more used to this than the AMD platform users but instead of thinking of PCs as a platform waiting to be upgraded, adaopt a console mindset.
Think of the PC as a single use item. Assign a budget and get the max that you can afford within that budget into the system. ALWAYS assume that the next time you are buying a PC, you are gonna buy a brand new pc. Upgrading PCs is a myth IMO, coz by the time one decides to upgrade the PC, one generation or more would already have passed..
Again these are just my personal opinions.
Nothing against miners and mining in general but it breaks my heart when a student wishes to play PUBG, and is directly affected by the mining craze. Miners should just stick to the Mining Queue. They can order as many as they want. Just go through the proper channels.
