@Tommy Knocks Gigabyte 3080 and Ryzen 5800x configuration is available now on NZXT.
Review Build Configuration

I'm still waiting for 5900x and also this video has me second guessing NZXT

Wtf. I sold my rtx 2070 super locally this past sunday for $400 cash.

fukk ebay. I use to sell computer parts there all the time. The fees were annoying but the worst part was waiting for your money to be given .

Once the item has been delivered to the buyer and they decide to give you a positive rating - then paypal will release your funds. And they cater to buyers so if a buyer decides to fleece you by saying they didnt get shyt or some other bullshyt.

Ebay will always side with them.

Once you have made 3 transactions with eBay they trust you so you get your money instantly. They did tax me for the graphics card. But 550( after fee )beats 400

Ive made more than three. I mustve sold a couple of gpus, motherboards, cpu and watercooling shyt. And it was always the same. Wtf. That's why i stopped. I hated waiting 2-3 weeks just for my money to go to paypal, and then 3-5 days from paypal to my checking account.

Damn that’s crazy. Yeah that’s fukked up.

Yeah dude. In 2014, i made a little over $2000 in ebay sales for one month and paypal fukking flagged my account.

Saying it was suspicious activity when all my items were delivered and i got positive feedback except for one person who didnt give me no feedback at all.

 

[Ruck]

That's why i joined overclock.net and used their marketplace. Now, its all about Craigslist and Facebook marketplace locally. And reddit hardwareswap for online transactions.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

so i just finished one of the last upgrades to my rig.
current stats:

i5 9600k running asus AI OC at over 5ghz stable, i lucked out in the silicon lottery.
1080 ti (looking at dat 3070 hard)
32gb ddr 4 3200 mgz
970 evo plus 1tb m.2 drive (loving this shyt)
2 sata drives for storage

 

[Ruck]

you aint know about @Ruck him and @Ciggavelli should have a tech battle or some shyt they along with @MMA probably easily dropped 50k on tech shyt the past 5 years combined

this man @Ciggavelli was swapping out $1500 video cards daily at one point like he was swapping Jordans

I wish I was in @Ciggavelli league. In all honesty, the reason I got money to burn is because I was suppose to go to this years summer Olympics in japan. And well... you know how 2020 has been .

It also helps that I'm single with no kids

Just get a 3080... Who games in 1080p

I game in 1080p still but i got dual 144hz 1ms monitors

resolution never been a big deal to me, performance is. Id rather be 1080p and 300 fps stable


My monitors cost roughly $700-800 combined, it wasnt about the $

 

[Theolodius_Black]

Evga sent the email on Tuesday


UPS just dropped off my 3080

Now I'm just waiting on my waterblock to get here

Some of yall about to catch some good vibes rep

 

[Oatmeal]

They said the 6800xt is trash for ray tracing

Now I dont know what card to go for, I want that VRAM but I want that ray tracing and I don't have 3080 money. I was at the limit with the 6800xt but was originally going for the 3070. And I can't find a solid 1440P monitor to work on my artwork

 

[SolesKing305]

Just missed the Best Buy restock of the 5900x

 

[Master Teacher]

3080 can run godfall 4k textures with no problem, the 12gb is only for GDDR6 3080 uses GDDR6x which can load assets faster freeing up more vram

Thanks for the info. The people crying about Godfall 4K textures still don't understand the difference between standard G6 vram and the new G6X vram.
