getting a new gaming rig!

[novene]

Chit chat here. Very fast to reach ten posts.

I had entire list of parts to buy. In fact full system but due to no stock, I cannot purchase any. Target is buy at Jan 1st but it seemed I must push back to March.

Rtx 3080 Ti rumour in Jan is nice. But at 999 usd. I would still want 699 Rtx 3080. The ti isn't like 40% more fps in gaming.

oh yikes!! doesnt that mean it's unlikely that anyone will be able to build a full pc of gaming specs within this year bc of stock? :<<

posting here as i wanna get a new rig soon too

is the price for aftershock's 5600x + rtx3070/3080 ready to ship builds decent? assuming that im too lazy to look for individual parts and build it myself

rtx3070 one $2075, while the rtx3080 one is $2699

Just before BFCM promo they were packaging that with the better Asus Tuf Gaming B550M wifi motherboard at $2150 (5600X/3070). That was a better deal.

Before the Asus MB, it was $2099 with the DS3H and Aourus wifi module. Now they separate the wifi. If you want the wifi have to top up $35 ($2110 total, $11 more than before)). Thus pre BFCM had the better deals.

Current distro pricing made me consider waiting for 3060 Ti. The local distro will not take my moolah.

I guess those boutique PC builders such as Aftershock, Dreamcore...etc is the way to go if you need all at one go assuming for those RFS models.

Unpopular opinion but this is exactly the reason why I wouldn't buy a system from them. They are the problem. They hogged all the stock, check out Aftershock's photos of stacks and stacks of 3080s and stuff. Screw them.

Ok they reduced the wifi to $15 now. So you're getting it $9 cheaper at $2090.
