I thought about scalping but folks are trying their best to avoid scalpers this time around. Most would rather wait for the 9950 than overspend on the 9800.

Just did a huge upgrade before the tariffs ruin everything.
Got the Ryzen 7 9800x3d, a new motherboard, new nvme ssd, DDR5 RAM, a new case, Noctua fans (I'm done with water cooling), etc...
All I need now is the new 5080 and I'm set for the next four years.

I think with the new tariffs that are going to be implemented, the current generation of consoles will last a couple years longer before true successors are announced. That's keep my new rig current for longer too.

Man, I'm finally able to play Cyberpunk with RT on Ultra. I have to play at 1440 instead of 4k, but the pixel difference is negligible to me on my TV from the distance I play at.
I can only imagine what shyt will look like once I get that 5080.

What’s the best controller with back paddles/buttons that’s not an Elite Series 2? My second replacement finally got a little drift, and RB is always finicky. I know the quality on those is a lottery and looking for a more dependable alternative. I just wanna be able to program the analog stick buttons to actual buttons on the back.
Elite is my favorite controller ever if it wasn’t an inconsistent POS

I can't help you with a alternative, but what I will say is, I buy my controller from best buy, get the protection, and replace them every two years because I know they're going to fukk up eventually.What’s the best controller with back paddles/buttons that’s not an Elite Series 2?

Yea I had the Geek Squad but it ran out before I could take it back this time
Not tryna deal with the planned obsolescence cycle anymore if I can help it. Crazy MS ain’t even thought about addressing (what I can only assume is) a common problem.
Tbh the paddles aren't too noticeable once u get playing. It's my only controller for a while now and I like it, but I wish I had gotten the hall effect versions cause these alps sticks creak and resistI'm looking for a good symmetrical controllerI see the 8bitdo pro 2 but i don't like how the back paddles stick out. Any suggestions?
