So I placed an order through nxzt bld because finding a gpu is crap.
Got this founders edition at cost.

NZXT H510i (White)
NZXT Kraken M22
ASRock X570 TAICHI WIFI
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 - Nvidia Founder's Edition
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core 3.7GHz
XPG Core Reactor 750W Gold
G.SKILL Trident Z Royal RGB 3600MHz 3600 MHz (max speed) 16GB (2 X 8 GB) More Info
Seagate FireCuda 520 (1.0 TB)

I am going to add 2 NZXT rgb fans for some color, 16gb more ram when I get it.

My question is can I get a second m.2 gen4 on this like 250-500gb and use for booting? I wanna use this 1TB for storage.

Looks like it can, would read the storage section in case you have issues

Does this pre-built come with everything installed?

If you're going to use the original 1TB as storage, but it came with everything installed (OS and drivers), you're gonna have to reformat so that you put the OS and drivers on the smaller storage (250-500GB).

Why not downgrade the 1TB to 250-500GB, and then buy a 1TB to install? That way you don't have to reformat.

The only option was a gen4 1TB as the 500gb was sold out and the price of it was the same on Amazon and Newegg. I can clone to new drive and wipe this one.

How much did the pre-build cost if I don't mind me asking.
Considering 3080 prices are soaring, it would be a steal if the price is similar to what it was before the pandemic.

With tax, shipping, build and windows 10, $2400.

The gpu was $699

That is really a good price as you have the 3080 as well.

Yeah. Couldn’t pass it up. They charge $99 to build it. $119 for windows 10 and $50 for shipping. Honestly if I built it myself maybe save $200. But with price of everything and shit.. is what it is.

Yeah $200 is nothing as you can have the PC ready asap, a few people on this sub-forum is missing GPU for their build.

Mhmm. Honestly getting the founders edition for $699 vs some of these Board partners have gpus for $899 and up, shit some of the 6700 xt and 3070 from partners were $749 if you could even get one.

The 6800 xt and 6900 xt were even more too and this is better or on par performance
