    PCSPECIALIST Build Advice

    Hello, I'm looking for any pointers/advice on the below build to be paired with a 3080 (when it eventually arrives) and a 1440p display with the intention of upgrading to 4k next year. I already have a 1TB M2 with window installed which I will move from current my six year old PCS rig. My...

    PCSPECIALIST Samsung SSD Interne 970 EVO NVMe M.2 (1TB)

    Apologies, yes, it was an 8+ year old (maybe more) SATA HDD so was well out of date. I misread the original post, I would agree a SSD to M2 on that system probably wouldn't be the best use of the money.

    PCSPECIALIST Worth the wait for Nvidia 30x0?

    Looking at the specs they've released the 3070 will blow the 2070 super away - it's supposed to be as or more powerful than the 2080 ti. I'm in a similar boat and am gonna wait and either pick up the 2070 super/2080 when the prices go down or go for the 3070 on release. It's only a couple...
