I'm not sure which card to get now lol
I've got a budget of £1200 or so.
My original plan was to build my new rig minus the GPU with a total cost of around £950.
I'm doing online surveys, which are VERY tedious to do lol, and you get vouchers for a well known retailer who shall remain nameless in exchange for doing these surveys.
By the end of today, I'll have £95 worth of vouchers, and I reckon I'll be able to do another £90 per month as long as it doesn't drive me crazy.
So by the time that November comes along (when I'll have the rest of the money) I'll have £360 worth of vouchers, meaning that the PC will only take up £590 of my budget, leaving me £600 or so to play with.
I was originally planning on getting the GPU, a 7900XT, in April or May, but with these vouchers cutting some of my spending, I COULD get myself a 7800XT instead. And that means a whole new machine rather than waiting 6 months for the GPU.
So I've got 3 options:
1) Get the whole thing including the 7800XT in November.
2) Get everything apart from the GPU in November, use my current 1080 until April or May next year and get a 7900XT.
3) Get everything apart from the GPU in November, use my current 1080 until April or May next year, continuing to do these surveys and get myself a 7900XTX instead.
I'm starting to seriously think about option number 3, assuming that I don't drive myself insane first lol
Just for reference, I'm building a rig with a 7800X3D and 64GB of DDR5, and if I decide to go for the 7900XTX I'll need to spend more on my power supply.
