Better to be waiting in a months-long line for a GPU than an actual breadline, at least.

if given the choice between an RTX 3090, but canned food for half a year or no RTX but fresh food, I know how many would choose.

Friend is trying to buy a new computer for his kid and keeps asking me about video cards. He is about to drop $700 to get a 3060ti from a scalper.

How do I get him a fucking computer with a 3070-3080 in it. What is the stock discord or whatever he needs to watch? Are there any full builds out there?

Combo deals are posted as regular drops, usually. Full builds are generally frowned on and links removed. At least from my experience watching the last two weeks.

ibuypower.com, cyberpower.com xoticpc.com ? Decent full builds can be found there, but unsure if in stock.

for his kid? Just give get him a 2060 or something like that. If I had the choice between a cheap budget 16/20 series and a scalped 30 series today, I'd pick the cheap card and upgrade it when necessary in the not so near future

Can also buy a CPU with an iGPU and then wait for stock.

I mean his kid is a teenager and he wants him to get a good gaming pc. A 2060 super is like $600?

He also has a microcenter like 35 minutes from him, though last he went they didn't have any video card stock. He's now asking if it's worth it to drive in and get a 5800x since they have stock of those. I'm more tempted to make him wait for a 5600x though.

Think I'm gonna have him go get a 5800x and

Then put the rest of the shit together online.

I hate getting involved in this kind of shit lol.

He has a $2500 budget, maybe I just make him get a scalped card, where is keg when you need him.

I paid €243 for my 1660ti.

I see what you mean though. I could sell that card used at a profit now after almost 2 years.

Just got my Syber cube from cyberpower today. Has the 10900 and an MSI 3080 in it. Didn't have to fight any bots for it, although I ordered the thing in late October and it just came today. Also got an LG CX 55 and I'm just about to fire up Doom Eternal for the first time. I might need a clean pair of shorts, and Ray Finkle.

Just do a prebuilt man. The Stock Drops discord has tripled in users in under a month. You're not going to get anything unless you sit in the general-na chat and watch it all day.

Nowinstock and stock drops have turned into turd central, better off with the Twitter notifications from them. Feel like I’m never notified timely anyways.
