shyt is crazy when prebuilts in this spec range cost as low as $1000 less. I wouldn't pull the trigger for a 3080 build at that price. But that's just me.

I been looking at prebuilds and ones with cheap Mobo's, smaller cases, less memory,non liquid cooling, and only 16GB of RAM(not even ddr4) run about the same as this build(about $2800).

Okay thought it was the $3400. $2800 sounds more reasonable

$3400 includes the monitor price but the pc build by itself is $2800 plus tax

Isn't that monitor supposed to be like around $300?

With taxes breh. The build without the monitor and taxes included is like 3k.


Edit: brought it down to $3200 by replacing the cpu with Intel Core i7-11700K - Core i7 11th Gen.


So without the monitor,its $2900

Oh I read it as 2800 total with taxes without the monitor. Idk breh I just can't justify a 3080 build with a monitor for 3200 - 3400 personally

You have a 2080, just wait until prices return to normal. The only people buying now should be people without graphics cards, in a years time you'll get a 4090 for that money.

They saying that GPUs might stay this high up especially with the new lovelace tech that is coming out.

I think these prices will be the new norm

Brehz, what mouse yall rockin? I got the cooler master mm720. I always loved the shape as im a claw grip type. But the mouse is way too light.

Gonna get me a new preferably heavier mouse. Had the logitech g402 for couple years and enjoyed it.

Thinking about going wireless. Anybody got some wireless gaming mice they'd recommend?

Viper Ultimate on the main desktop

SteelSeries Prime 3 on the laptop

Logitech Mx Master 2S at work
