For that amount of money go for a prebuild, it's the only way to get a GPU at a non insane price. That GPU is supposed to retail for what, half that, the 3080 launched at less than 820 quid and is MUCH MUCH more performant.

like, something like this: https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-corsair-4000d-airflow-rgb-ryzen-5-3600-6-core-4.2ghz-nvidia-rtx-3070-8gb-desktop-pc-for-gaming.html has some poo poo in there I don't think is optimal but on the other hand it's a 3070

specifically I'd up the ram to 3200 and 16 gigs for a total of 1445ish? and that was just from ten minutes on HotUKDeals while phoneposting. you are on a position some would be envious of - you need a total upgrade and as such can actually buy a GPU via a premade. things are adequately bad that people are literally buying premades to shuck the loving GPU and resell all the other components at a loss. it's crazy out there take advantage as best you can.

or, buy a premade, and literally get the entire thing with a 1660 super for less than the price of that 1660 super god loving drat is the GPU situation hilarious rn lmao https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/aw...aign=2021-05-17

Are people getting those premades at a reasonable time? A friend tried going that route for a 3080, and at first they told him 2 months. 2 months later they told him it'd be another 8 months.

I decided to order a prebuilt about six months ago and simply signing up for notifications to like thirty places. After a few months of two to four hours of sleep a few days over December and a period of four 1/2 days with none at all I wound up slipping into psychosis and after ect and med changes and sedation, I got a prebuilt ibuypower with a 3070 and even with the custom psu upgrade I had it here, with ALL TotL parts a week later. I paid a premium, but it was worth it because I got the whole thing for the price of a scapler’s 3080. I rebuilt my last generation computer (GTX 970) just for something to try new/old operating systems on and gently caress around with old games and programs. I also found my old Ubuntu 8.14 DVD that Canonical mailed me because back then my data cap meant it would take two or three months to download  ,four if I wanted to spend bandwidth on anything else during the first three.edit: Satellite internet in a very rural area that couldn’t even hit 28.8Kb with a 56K v.90 over the copper lines was brutal.

Maybe not relevant to any goons outside of Sweden, but Inet is now claiming to have 100+ RTX 2060s over 2 SKUs in stock for about SEK5100 (~$611). Bad price but maybe having them filter in will help bring down overall prices a little bit.

Did you order a pre-built or a custom build from like ibuypower? Most of the prebuilts come from an already existing inventory, while the custom ones come from stock receiving estimates and are much more likely to push.

Anything with a lead time more than like 2 weeks is going to face that issue, and carry a frankly pretty high delay risk. If it’s custom build with 2 week lead time you’re probably fine. If it’s a ready to ship obviously you’ll be good.

What would be a reasonable lead time to expect? normally it would be kind of lateral compared to building with tradeoffs, but as you demonstrated a single component literally costs as much as a full system including that component. it's not normally advice i would give and it's certainly not something i'd normally suggest in the pc building thread but the the GPU shortage is that bad. depends entirely if it's a prebuild - ie, a fully manufactured device sitting in a box, or a build to order, which can take longer as they are also subject to the same GPU pressures, although they have an enormous advantage. and it depends entirely on the specific company or even what you pay for, some places like Palicomp will let you pay extra to expedite your build. AWD IT are good, CCL or Scan are good but it will take some shopping. i recommend setting an alert for "computers" on hotukdeals, it's all community generated over there and there likely will be someone on the comments giving estimates of shipping. e: also they will TOTALLY screw you on upselling so having an understanding of what stuff should be worth is valuable, don't bother with most add ins imo.

There's two HDD slots in the bottom accessed from the non-windowed side. 6.5 inches from motherboard surface to window so it would be tight. AIO works fine for me though.

So I had my Corsair RMx 650 fail over the weekend, and on it's way out it killed an hdd, one of the RAM slots on my mobo, and the RAM that was in that slot. Even worse it happened during a reboot to install Windows updates, and after hooking up my backup power supply it just BSOD on boot. I had to reinstall Win10 because system restore wasn't able to apply the pre-update restore point. I've already ordered replacement power supply and motherboard. Seasonic Focus +Gold 650, and MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC. I'm mainly posing here to ask how likely it is that I messed up the power supply when I moved my PC to a new case last week. I was clearing the dust out of the ps while I was moving it, and the compressed air can shot some liquid into the power supply even though I was holding the can level. Could that be what caused the power supply to die? It was working fine for few days afterwards.

I finally got all my parts and put everything together today.

Even under stress testing the whole machine barely makes a peep. God my old computers are so loud. -RGB is fun and the wife loves it. The regular performance case probably would have been fine though. -GPU and CPU are remaining quite cool. CPU <50C and GPU<70C. I don't have a new monitor yet so I can only do 1080p output, though I haven't tested the vive yet. I'll probably forego adding the extra fan in the back unless I feel like I need it later. Things that were a pain: -Running cables in the lian li wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I could have chosen a motherboard that has more side-facing inputs instead of top-facing inputs, that would have made running the front panel usb wire and mobo power cords easier. -Front panel power button and reset button fall apart (not break, just separate from each other) when you install the usb-c cable. -Small chip in the glass, I'll see if Lian Li will send me a replacement panel. -Front panel power and reset button are on the top of the case. I did not consider that my cat would love sitting on the top of my computer, so now I need to find a way to cover them. Overall super happy with it, thanks thread for all the help.

Mr Interweb posted:https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-T5-P...ctronics&sr=1-4 There are still drives available, but the farmers found out the really good high performance ssds are burned out quickly and so are actually buying more than they originally thought they needed. So get a good ssd with size and benchmarks because they potentially could be expensive by Black Friday. Maybe an extra 7200 hdd for actually storing non-performance based files (docs, pics, etc). I hate thinking that far out, but I was going to replace my 970 with a 2070 or so last September and couldn’t believe what the price was. Figured it’d be cheaper BF or after the Christmas season. drat was I wrong.

Spacegrass posted:Thanks. de nada bud. i'm not going to bullshit you it's more or less the worst market there has ever been for gpus so you probably are looking at spending a little more/getting a little less than you were a few years ago - i'm pulling this advice from this kind of unfortunately Youtube video on the topic. if you have any friends with old GPUs they can sell for cheap it will make things much easier/more possible. cs:go isn't enormously demanding and you'll probably be targeting 1080p 60hrz if you have a similarly budget monitor, so you can probably get away with something older - like, a 750ti maybe, 1050ti if you're very very lucky, etc.

GPU, CPU then ram in terms of game performance, GPU is the most important. your strategy is more or less to buy the cheapest available CPU and ram to get the most GPU you possibly can - watch the video i suggest, get your head around it a little better. i think they might even give a recommendation for what kind of OptiPlex is good and has a decent PSU
