MSI just raised the GPU prices AGAIN on Newegg

Get dem discord bots and hunt down them FE cards on best buy. Got a 3090 last week

When I made the switch from ssd to m2 as my C drive, I used macrium reflect. Made a copy of the old drive on the new one and added an empty folder that simply said "new drive" so I knew which one to set as the boot drive, and that was it.

Just did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. My only mistake was not setting the partition size to 2TB but I fixed it with a separate app.

Brehs am in a bit of a dilemma.
Have two choices available to me and not sure which one to pick-

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Processor
Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite Motherboard
Gigabyte Geforce RTX 3070 8GB Gaming OC
Gigabyte Aorus 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe Gen4 SSD - Gigabyte Aorus RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz -
Corsair RM750 Power Supply
Corsair Obsidian 4000D Computer Case (ATX, TG, Black)
Arctic P14 PWM Pressure Case Fan *4 -
ID-Cooling FH-07 Fan Hub -


CHASSIS: RAPID : RAPID Mesh Edition High Airflow Tempered Glass Chassis
AMD RYZEN 5 5600X
ASUS B550M TUF Plus Gaming (4 Ram Slots) (Includes AX WIFI + BT 5.0)
GIGABYTE RTX 3070 GAMING OC 8GB
16GB Klevv Performance 3200 Mhz (8x2) CL19
WATERCOOLING: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer 240
512 GB M.2 NVME SAMSUNG SSD (R: 3500 | W: 3000)
S1 ARGB Fans X 4
Classic Black Cable Sleeves
SUPERFLOWER LEGION 750W GOLD Non-Modular


Both are pretty much the same price but one has a better ssd but older cpu and no liquid cooling.

I’d actually get the Index. Mainly because Half-Life Alyx plays natively. It’s also more high quality too.

Why shoot the breeze about it, when you can be about it?

also, theyre saying the Quest 2 has higher resolution in the headset than the Valve index

 

[Ciggavelli]

Yeah, I guess if you don’t mind the cord workaround, it sounds like the Quest 2 could be the right choice
