I’ve got a 3070 in my current computer and everything but the cooler for a new Ryzen 7 9800x3d build sitting on my bench, so I’m going to try for at most a 5080. I don’t know if I could pull the trigger on a 5090, even if I could get one in the cart.

Nor should you. They’re stupid.

Dumb, I was able to get 4090 at MSRP by camping manufacturer web stores for restocks.

Ok. Went to every "reputable" pre-built site. They are pretty much 30+ days out on new builds with a 5xxx. Anyone have a site they THINK can get me a new PC with a 5xxx before March 1st?

Drove by best buy and there's nobody camped out front. The part of me that might set up a tent is long gone. Think I'll drop in a few mins before they open. I get one cool, if not I'll wait til I can.

I didn't see tents at the Best Buy near me. Going to swing by Microcenter after work and see what they offer for someone buying a new rig and having them build it, and if I can get a 5xxx that way.

Well, I snagged a prebuilt with a 5090. 4400 bucks. All for the frames! And Monster Hunter!

Where'd you end up going?

I hate to say it...

Build Redux. It took me like 20 attempts to buy it for some reason. Just kept timing out when it was in the cart to pay.

I'm assuming it will be a day one makeover when the PC arrives.
