My 3080 is coming today
What’s a good ssd for installing games to, I need around 2tb to be safe

For installing games I wouldn't go too crazy when it comes to SSD's. I feel like you really get the benefits going to M.2 drives is in the OS. When it comes to loading games I don't really see a crazy difference either way. I'd get a regular SSD for installing games and an M.2 NVME for OS and real important shyt. l would put Cyberpunk on my C: and 10/10 shyt like that. Other games can take a backseat.

That is a GREAT score. Giving all the time I've already wasted monitoring all these sites, discord notification clicks, etc... $130 for a finders fee I would pay right now without question. Nice breh, enjoy it.

Anybody played Crysis Remastered with the 3080/90? What type of performance are you getting?

I might flip my 3080 while they hype is still there, looks like the mid tier AMD card will outperform it everywhere except ray tracing

so the the top tier card will be on par with the 3090

Copped that Asus VG27AQ 1440p monitor over the weekend brehs as it was on sale from BBY. shyt is glorious Been missing out all this time running sub $130 CAD monitors for my dual screen setup.

Did my first build over the summer to replace the old laptop. Maybe 20 years since I was a teen, heh. Even then never really did one from scratch. It's mainly for Photoshop/AI and heavy multitasking for my small business but figured I'd want to game a bit when in office and not downstairs in living room. Just COD, really.

R5 3600
B450 Tomahawk MAX
Gaming X 1660 Super
16GB G.Skill Ripjaws
500GB WD M.2 750SN with heatsink. Have a few HDDs attached but will migrate those to an SSD. Old photos and shyt.
Seasonic Focus 750 gold semi-modular - honestly thought this was overkill, but at the time Amazon and Canada Computers were bone dry for lower wattage PSUs. Kindly glad now that I got this one if I decide to jump into this 3080 hoopla.
Fractal Design Meshify C case

and then of course some Deepcool RGBs (top mount/exhaust) as I wanted to go with a theme so based it off of the HitGOAT colour sceme. Pic in spoiler. Intake fans are stock from the case.

Spoiler

Overall happy with the build. Was expecting the 1660S to choke itself when I bumped it to 1440P but it handled Warzone well with most things set to high/ultra. Maintained solid 60-70 fps. Question will be case real estate if I get one of them 3080s. Intake fans may need to be moved up/down for clearance.

Thanks for the tips in here brehs.

You got the juice now breh

Patio heaters? it's a demand like that?

 

[CJ]

Yeah breh. Alot of restaurants that have a cold winter are gonna try and pivot to make up for the loss of summer revenue by having patios open. Even going by here in Ontario they are looking to do that. I could see the demand
