yes the scalping is insane. but being that it is a strix. this was lower end of what scalpers were asking on this particular card. i managed to get a 3060 evga cheap and sold it for well * scalped prices. to offset the step up to the TI i made 200$ on the evga. so in theory you could say i payed 800$


also i did get the cable mod. i was considering getting the white. but the black was a bit cheaper and i could get them quicker. my fans and gpu are black i didnt care too much to be 100% white there always ends up some black showing anyway



I see :)

By the way there is still a lot of free space at the front radiator. Maybe you could put in a figurine just for fun lol.
It shouldn't block the airflow.

right i was thinking that also kinda Dead space there. even with the strix being as big as it is. i had a few weird decorative ideas i was thinking of playing with if i get around to them ill make a post.

one thing i saw that is very cool though ill post here though maybe some people have seen them but was new to me they can be customized/engraved with what ever image you chose

Yeah, also they could make those with LED lightings.
It would cost a few more bucks, but looks really good.

have been wondering considering. the m.2 since you mentioned it.

right now the samesung evo 980 seems like the faster option. and is the same price as the firecuda seagate (supposedly more reliable and durable)

do you have any preference?

I am using Adata XPG SX8200

Samsung evo 980 might have faster read/writes, but I am not sure whether it would justify spending a few more bucks to get that.
Usual pc startup/gaming shouldn't have much difference.
