If you getting a 5900x why not get a Radeon card. You'd already have that SAM shyt ready to go

I'll wait for reviews to come out. If reviews are amazing 6900xt might be interesting for $250 more than 3080.

But 3080 has a huge advantage as DLSS gets more widely adopted and I won't have to worry about drivers.

Well, running nvidia snatcher came through today, finally. Came out with the 3080 FTW3 Ultra via Newegg US. (had to do one of them stupid mobo bundles where they are clearly just unloading old overstock shyt lol)

But then an hour later Newegg Canada did a drop and ended up with a 3070 Strix instead of a 3080 Strix. Clicked the wrong notifier too quick.

Gonna look to trade now

Fresh build. Haven't really PC gamed since the mid 2000s. But I like to buy shyt I got no use for - got a Xeon E3-1535M, 64GB of RAM, and a 4K screen on my laptop . 90% of the time I use it at 1080p and the only time I use the resources is when I'm running VMs to bullshyt around in. Tried to play Cities: Skylines and Total War to lean on the processor but it heats up real quick and starts thermal throttling.

What motherboard or other components you getting?

Everything in Bold I have
Cpu: Ryzen 5950X
GPU: RX 6900
RAM: 2x32GB G Skill Trident Royal @ 3400 MHz (I think)
MOBO: Asus Crosshair Dark Hero (When it's available)
AIO: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 (They dropped the 420 right after I ordered this)
Case: Lian Li O11 XL in white
PSU: Corsair RM850x in white
Fans: 6 Arctic 12 PWM PST 120
SSD: 2x1GB Sabrent Rocket Gen 4 PCIe TLC M.2 (the black ones)

I may order 3 more of those fans just to have a cohesive look, swap what comes with the AIO. Only RGB will be from the RAM and MOBO. If I stumble on some decent white sticks of RAM then I may go that direction, but I'm pretty set on those gaudy ass Royals lol. Depending on how I feel at check out, might go ahead and max out sat 128 GB, just to say I got it

this is kinda fire....but the GPU should be water cooled too. for that price it should have a waterblock. if you press the issue they may include.

damn 850w gold. you aint playing huh.

Thanks I'll try and see if I can get it water cooled.

With psu I'm thinking if nvidia was this inefficient with 3000 series they might go even more power hungry with 4000/5000 if AMD stays on their ass with big navi.

I was planning on getting the regular Crosshair but then they quietly announced the Dark Hero. I really wanted something plug and play so I wouldn't have to flash the bios, so I was holding out until the 5000 series dropped to see if anything popped up, and it did. If I would have started my build 6-12 months ago then I'd probably have a 3900 as well.
