Still shows a ton in stock. Basically crazy scalper prices but I guess it's a good sign of greater supply?

It's out of stock now, but MSRP on the 12700k is like $400, and the 11700k is still going for $350. So if the 12700k was listed at 337.49 that's a good price

4000 series to launch end of 2022, hope springs eternal

my CPU is now 7 years old, this is the longest i have gone without upgrading my PC. It still runs Lost Ark just fine though lol I wish there was a must play game that was PC only, Elden Ring is cool but I'd still rather play it on my ps5

If thats true thats just Nvidia capturing the arbitrage scalpers currently get.

So i've decided my 7 year old PC needs an upgrade. I was looking at adding an RTX 3070 but I only have PCI 3.0 slots on my MB. Should I be looking at a completely new build at this point or can the new PCI 4.0 cards work with what I have?

CPU Cycles Matter.

You will want a new build regardless.

Ok, i'm good with that. I've built my last couple PCs but was leaning to pre built/custom one this time. Any recommendations on good prebuilt brands? I've also heard it may be easier to get the RTX cards this way vs sourcing one myself. I'm in Canada as well which just makes everything more of a pain in the ass.

ibuypower or cyberpower (generally cheaper) if you want to customize your ride. Newegg and best buy have various prebuilts as well, I'm not really a fan of the Omens tho but take what you can get. Maybe Asus is better? It's definitely easier to get a card this way.

I'd stay as far away from newegg as possible.

Cyberpower's service is as bad as newegg. HP Omen at least uses swappable parts (but still locks down the BIOS) unlike HP Pavilion and Dell's proprietary crap. Almost every prebuilt at the 3060/3070 range seems to have inadequate cooling because they are slapping on random parts to sell the GPU as a prebuilt bundle.
