No cash left after new 3080 build so will be waiting for 2021 Bleak Friday

Same story here - 5900x and a 3080 have more than done for my 2020 budget.

Looking for an SFX PSU in the range of 650-750w. Currently have a decent 500w ATX unit which is fine, but I keep getting tempted with ITX builds. One of the hurdles is not having an SFX power supply

There's no GPU for me to buy new this side of Christmas

Was looking at the WD SN750 500gb drive for boot. Seems like a good inbetween the 750 Evo i have currently and a PCIe4 drive. But they're often on sale so will probably wait.

Was really hoping for the lower GPUs to see some discounts, but again will probably wait for some real price falls.

Yea that looks like a good drive i Currently have 3200mhz CL14 and not sure how much of a difference 3800mhz CL16 would be for gaming if less than 10fps not worth it.

Why not just try overclocking your current ram? I have my 3200/14 kit running at 3800/14.

Its currently rated at 3200 CL16 its not B Die so dont think it will overclock well used the CCR tuner to get to CL14 @Joxeon

Still worth a shot before you shell out on new stuff, I've seen vids where buildzoid got 2400mhz potato ram up to like 5000mhz lol.

 

[lloydcars18]

Will give it a shot i know that the IMC is a lot better on the new Chips.

Looking to buy some 32Gb 3600Mhz memory and a new Pcie 4 NVME.

When i was looking at pcie4 SSDs the price to performance was really low in regards to gaming. When the new consoles can utilise the faster drives the prices should have come down by then hopefully.

Thinking of picking up a 6 or 8TB 5400 drive to add to the rest of the bits I can't build yet

Needed a decent wattage psu, none in stock so resorted to fleabay lol. Other than that, no i've got everything i need unless a stupid cheap 2TB SSD comes along.

 

[Harnser]

I was going to pick up a Ryzen 3100 for the wife's new PC, but they've jumped in price since Tuesday by £18. Humbug.
