CPU - Intel i7 10700K (~$350 USD)
Motherboard - Gigabyte Aorus Z490 Pro AX (~$300 USD)
CPU cooler - CoolerMaster ML360R (~$150 USD)
Case - Fractal Design Meshify 2 Light Tempered (~$140 USD)
RAM - Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz C16 8GB (2x) (~$90 USD)
Storage - Samsung 980 Pro 1TB (~$200 USD)
GPU - RTX 3080 (~$1000 USD)

Because you're around $2500 USD with this build, you can choose
1) a better motherboard (just more slots and features but nothing to do with performance)
2) a better GPU such as RTX 3090
3) unnecessarily more RAM to 32GB
4) a better CPU like Intel's newest 11th generation (11XXXK series)

Gl with graphic card, those things are overpriced atm.

Yeah cheapest I seen is 2999 in amazon and all others out of stock

Most folks are re-using their old GPU until stock is back to normal. I, myself, am waiting on a RTX 3080, while my desktop is all brand new.

AMD Ryzen 5800X
Gigabyte Aorus X570 Ultra
Corsair 3600MHz C18 --> waiting for an upgrade
Noctua NH-D15
GTX 1060 --> waiting for an upgrade

Any idea when it will be again in stock ? I have a gtx 980 ti

With crypto mining hype and over-demand, it is recommended to wait it out. Unless there are gpu intensive games you really look forward to play.

If Nvidia is really sourcing wafers from TSMC, I'd say the shortage will last until at least the end of the year.

There will be supply here and thre but you would have to be lucky to get them.

i hustled a little bit to offset additional costs on gpu. and what started as rebuild ended up in basically new build re using only a few fans and ram

here is my build its mostly white / RGB heavy not for everyone

i think in reality you dont need to spend anywhere near 4k if you dont want too. 2k-2500 tackled a pretty fancy and high performance build for me. unless your just wanting the very best like 5950x and 3090.. thats the only place i could see you spending that last thousand dollars


i got my ryzen 9 5900x for 600$ and my 3060 strix ti for 1000$ (scalped prices but i made up nice for it trading some of my old parts and my 1660 i upgraded from)

even then with all rgb white bells and whistles i think i maybe have 3.5k invested
