shit man I ordered all the parts, except the cpu and gpu...

Ok cpu I understand it came out like the other day, I REALLY was not expecting the rtx 30 series graphics cards to be still out of stock wtf didn't they release before heist or something?

I ordered my ASUS 3080 right when the 3080 released on the 17.09.2020, basically in the first hour and it got delivered last week. Now think about how many orders are still pending since then.

If u r ordering now, u won't get them this year anymore.

alright buy from scalpers it is

I'm using an ancient computer built in 2011, I ain't waiting half a year just for 1-2 parts lmao

I don't know where u're from and I have no idea what a 3080 costs from scalpers, but if its in the range of an 3090 then u might consider buying one of those instead.
At least in the german shop I'm ordering the 3090s r more often then not available for sale. Only problem is, u can't choose which one u get... just the one that is available at the time. Mostly its ZOTAC and MSI I believe.

my current machine is an intel/nvidia rig next will prob be all AMD.
Kind of funny to see the 'current' AMD opinions in here based on generations old hardware. It's like few folks keep up with tech by reading, just internet broscience.

Currently, AMDs CPU architecture is higher performing than intel parts in most segments while being in a lower power envelope (they are faster and run cooler) their recently launched GPUs beat or equal their Nvidia counterparts while being priced close to parity or much cheaper at the uber high end. They also run cooler.

AMD also finally has some 'secret sauce' that gives a perf boost when using all AMD hardware so there is now a tangible benefit to owning an all AMD machine.

Anyone looking to build a new machine should do a bare minimum google search and read up on the parts market as it is currently, don't form opinions from the bulldozer and fermi days :)

Some sites:
techpowerup
anandtech
semiaccurate

etc etc etc

I'm going to run Cyberpunk2077 and see. I'm due for an upgrade in a year or so. I wouldn't buy AMD though unless their support has changed over the last few years.
