It's fine. The 3700 uses 220w. A good 600W PSU is way more than enough with your CPU.
Nvidia's requirements assume a power hungry 10900k which by itself can use 250W in short bursts.

A quick bios flash will soon sort that out. As long as it’s cooled well enough the skys the limit. Kepler was the last decent architecture to overclock on as you could increase voltage using a .bat file which used hexadecimal codes to apply voltage.
After Kepler Nvidia disabled this feature and it’s never been the same since.

People taking finance to fund their hobbies is common place.
Some people take finance to buy furniture for their home
Some people use it to purchase a car, or a holiday
If somebody's hobby is computers & gaming what is the harm in them using finance for that when it's acceptable for all the other reasons? The risks are the same no matter what the purchase you're making...
Agreed, sometimes finance makes the most financial sense. My sig rig (well 970 at first) was bought on buy now pay in 12 months because I knew that my financial standing would increase by more than the £30 fee in 12mths. No need to pay upfront when that cash was better used elsewhere.

According to this Pringles leaks price of new Xbox and according to my calculation it puts it at around £600.
Only reason why I posted that is because it makes me feel better about potentially spending £650 on a 3080.

I am really considering a FE 3080. The only thing putting me off a little is the 12 pin power connector and how unsightly the adapter appears to be. Do you think the likes of Cablemod will release a more pleasing looking adapter/ extension in the same vein as their current braided extensions?

I can’t afford it with a months worth, does that mean you earn more than 3k per month after tax?
Financing a necessity like furniture or a car is not the slightest bit comparable to a luxury like a £1200 GPU.
Everyone is entitled to do what they like but personally I think this kind of attitude of putting everything on tick is why there's such a massive debt problem in this country.
Personally I feel luxuries should be saved for and purchased when you have the money. No one has any patience any more and just shoves everything on credit.
I certainly hope so but their current shipping arrangements make purchasing odd cables prohibitively expensive. I've already spoken to them about this with regards to purchasing additional 8-pin cables for triple-socket boards and the same applies with the 12-pin connectors that they'll undoubtedly start selling.
OcUK should talk to them about importing them in bulk so they can sell them individually at a much better price.
Cheap credit is how flagship phones, typically bought on contracts from mobile carriers, now cost £1200-1500! Who knows, maybe the reason why flagship GPUs do too

Very true mate. My pro extensions I think ended up costing me about 60 quid by time shipping was added. I still paid it because I'm a mug lol.

Its 13.5GB+ not 10 and that's on xbox series x. Not consoles.
How amusingly quaint and old fashioned. Are you simply assuming that all people who pay with credit can't afford the item they are paying for? Low or no interest credit actually makes more financial sense for higher value items than paying it all out in one go.

Yes of course, might take a little time but it'll be a nice little earner for them.

Well that's the biggest load of rubbish i have heard today. Paying for something outright is always the preferred way. You are suggesting paying money on top in the way of interest is better. Paying extra is never better full stop. If you are trying to build a credit rating higher then yea tick is good but if you already have the money and have a high credit rating having the money outright or saved is the cheapest and best way. I don't have the money to buy my car outright so will pay the extra 3k in interest but i have enough for a new graphics card and Ps5 waiting so i am not losing money to interest over a few years.
Sorry unless i have misunderstood this ain't a great way to see money. No interest yea thats ok but any interest is just ******* money down the drain.
My preferred way is to save money in advance so i have the money there in the first place and nobody in the middle is gaining anything from my purchase.

Not forgetting all forms of credit where used properly is beneficial for building up good credit scoring. So if it's say 0% and/or BNPR etc it will all go toward that so is well worth using. You aren't paying extra this way as it's all 0% interest, and you're gaining 2 benefits with one step instead of just 1 benefit (the product) so.... It's a no brainer?
Sorry if this offends you, but it's only 'rubbish' because you don't understand it and are working with outdated views on very low-interest or interest-free credit. 0% finance, for example, is a true no-brainer if you can use it to pay for things and I believe OCUK offer 10 months interest free on some products (not sure what though). If you invest your money then you make the interest back and more by keeping it invested and not by taking it out to pay for things in lump sums.
Paying high interest is obviously bad, but then that's why I specifically said low or no interest.
Yup!
