Almost double the price of the 3080 for 4 more vram? Is this a joke? That 3090 purchase 
Nvidia probably salty as hell in retrospect that they released the 3080 at $699

Can't go wrong with red/black/white. 
My 5900x, x570 hero dark, 1tb nvme and 32gb ddr4 ram came in last week. Will take pics. But... the case its going in is really special...

I was close to picking out all the parts for my new PC, until I tried to find a graphics card for a few days and just couldn’t hit. Not even micro center by me had one. So I bought a sub $1k gaming desktop to hold me over until 2023.
Looking for hindsight advice: I copped a HP Pavilion gaming desktop at $100 off msrp. Came with a i5-11040 intel cpu, upgraded to the GTX 1660, upgraded to a 500W power supply, weak points are the obvious 256gb SSD that’s prolly slow as shyt and the RAM. Both are easily upgradable from what I can tell.
I was wondering how sustainable is the 500w PSU for future upgrades? Should I worry about cooling long term if I start playing AAA titles? How hard did I grief with the motherboard, especially since it wasn’t explicitly said what model it was?

No ur going to have to change that PSU depending on what U upgrade to. If u go a i7 cpu or a GPU more powerful than a 2070 super u probably need to upgrade. 500W would really be pushing it.
With that GPU/CPU u will be around 60 frames in most games on medium settings. Depending on what u spent, I’d get a console.
how prices are right now, anything that’s less than like $1300 probably ain’t worth it.

I respect the opinion, i mostly play valorant/league of legends and already had a p5 so I didn't have to worry too much about a console. Just needed something to run valorant/LoL on near max settings to hold me over until the gpu market stop being fukking insane. Then I can open my wallet to enjoy the fruits of my hard work.

new build, had to settle for 1650 to last me until this supply shortage bullshyt is over.
