Mhmm. Honestly getting the founder 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 these is better and on par performance


Was lucky and got myself a Gigabyte 3070 for $550 when it first released. Can just imagine how daunting it would be to wait for something not knowing when it would come.

Yeah. That’s a good price for sure. Only $50 over the founders for a better card. This market sucks :(

I’m gonna throw 16gb more ram and a second ssd into for more storage. I rushed to order it. Once I did the founders card was out of stock.

Please get M.2 SSD, not those sata SSD lol, SSDs are so cheap already and there is no reason to get a SATA SSD with all the cable management that comes with it.

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.


Love this idea to get a custom built cpu w/ reasonably priced GPU. Keep us updated!

Nice build. Also consider: Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, or the comparable WD Black SN850. Look up benchmarks for the SSDs to compare. Remember to update motheboard BIOS and SSD firmware immedietly, if updates available.
