5950X still bottlenecks a 4090, it's not fast enough. 13900K is your best bet, or 7950X as runner up.

Seems CEX aren't scalping 4090's just yet, prices are way low.

who gives a flying f about FE's selling out when there's plenty of third party cards available for same price?
they may had only a couple hundred FE's in stock.
I wonder who's daft enough to buy those FE's for anything over MSRP from scalpers now
They'll be queueing up, one born every minute!

The FEs are quite a bit shorter than the AIBs, I have an MATX case and that is a better fit so unless I get a new case which I couldn't be bothered with - I'd be happy with an FE , it would fit in nicely. TBH I probably won't get a 4090 but that was the only one on my radar.
BTW I would not 100% get one from a scalper!

Yep seeing them for £2.5k - £3k already... disgraceful
Same old crapThis review suggests its 495w
Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 Amp Extreme Airo Review
Zotac's GeForce RTX 4080 AMP Extreme Airo comes with a mesmerizing RGB implementation that simply looks stunning. As expected, a factory overclock is included on Zotac's new flagship, and the cooler runs very quietly once the dual BIOS is switched to "quiet mode".www.techpowerup.com
Disappointing for the amp "extreme". Should be 600w, should be quieter and should have lower idle power consumption.

"Do you expect me to talk???"
"Oh no Mr Bond, I expect you to pay £1000 over MSRP!"
I feel like I've bought the runt of the litter

CEX surely can't scalp them - They would have to sell them for £3000.

How much faster in gaming benchmarks is the 13900k over the 7950X?
Maybe it's because I'm in Scotland but I'm just not seeing the bulk of these scalpers on Facebook Marketplace. In fact, the only scalper I'm seeing is the one from Bolton.
He had to pay shipping!
Why 5950x and not 5800x3D if anything? The latter is what most reviewers tested 4090 on. That said, it depends on what FPS range you want to achieve in 4k. 4090 can be bottlenecked by CPU but that's above 180-200FPS, in 4k.

I'm only seeing six cards in the UK on eBay. That really is bugger all. Most scalpers are steering clear.
