Taking the "build a pc" part literally, how the fuck does somebody get a new Nvidia card these days?
My main PC still has a 970 gtx. After launch I tried for a few weeks to get a 3070 (hanging out in the discord, etc.) with no luck. Has anybody snagged one recently??
It's a pretty sad state of things. I bought a GTX 1660 last January just because the fan on my old Radeon card quit and I figured might as well upgrade. I've almost thought about fixing the fan and putting it back in and selling the Nvidia card for a profit. Despite it being 18 months old.
The only people I know that have paid double what it cost for the rest of this build I did a year ago:
I7-10700k, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD stick NVME whatever, 2TB SATA SSD, AIO, 750watt PSU, and the GTX1080 from my old build. Which I bought that 1080 when the 2080's were announced new to me for $325 shipped. I could probably sell the 1080 for more than I paid for it. Rest of the Computer cost me ~$1000 a year ago to build.
TO add to my comment, play older games. Most of the best games you wont need more than a 1070, or even 970 and medium graphics. Spending money on CurrentYear games in 2020 is a waste. And even saints row is going WoKe with Lesbians and SoyBois. Spend all your money on the classics or used games, IMO/ Also D2ReMastered is removing lan. Literaly 0 reason to buy NEW games anymore.
