    PCSPECIALIST The Great RTX 3060ti Wait and Delivery Thread

    Ahh ok, thanks. Maybe they've used up all they have and won't have more for a few weeks.

    PCSPECIALIST rtx 3070 sales preference according to upgrade / build ?

    Good luck mate, looking at some posts from people waiting for a 3080, the wait is crazy long. I was going to go for a 3060ti but decided for the 3070 as the waits seemed shorter, the posts above seem to justify the extra cash. 5600x/3070 for me but only at 2 working days, I was kinda resigned to...

    Not long to keep refreshing now but if you ever need to do something similar in the future you can use the distill.io chrome extension to do it for you and set off an alarm when something on the page changes.

    Out of curiosity, how do you change the configuration of the order? Does it take an email?

    I see your thinking though kinda thinking of keeping the M.2 slot free and adding another 1TB drive in 6 months or so.

    Yeah I'll likely keep the HDDs for movies at least and add more SSDs for games, can never have too much storage.

    I'll be adding a Noctua NH-D15 pretty much as soon as it arrives.

    PCSPECIALIST Finally bit the bullet and ordered, this is the spec.

    I've 1x 4TB and 2 x 2TB Seagate Barracudas that have all my movies on that can be installed. Not the fastest drives I know but they should suffice for just now. Down the line I plan to add in some more SSDs once I pay off this build.

    PCSPECIALIST Finally bit the bullet and ordered, this is the spec.

    I should have added, it'll mostly be used for gaming with a little engineering drawing and some analysis... but mostly gaming and as a PLEX server. I had posted a spec previously but it's changed a bit so I thought I'd just post the new one.

    PCSPECIALIST Finally bit the bullet and ordered, this is the spec.

    Well after much changing and tweaking I finally hit the button. I was hoping to build it myself but after days and days of trying to get a GPU I gave up. Need a 1440p 144Hz monitor to go with it and plan on adding a Noctua NH-D15 cooler pretty much straight away. Does anyone know if the lead...

    So I'm just about to pull the trigger on a 5600x/3060ti build, a lot of you guys seem to have been patiently waiting, as a rough estimate, what does the average wait time seem to be?

    PCSPECIALIST How does this build look?

    Thanks for the advice, it's really appreciated. I'm looking into the B550 vs X570, seems quite a bit extra for not too much benefit though, I'm definitely getting to the upper end of my budget. What would you say the upside of an X570 is? I've a bunch of 3.5" hard drives that I'll be putting in...

    PCSPECIALIST How does this build look?

    You guys are on the ball, many thanks for the prompt advice. I'll definitely upgrade the power supply and wifi card. I was thinking of upgrading to an AIO down the line, do you think there will be much of an issue with thermal throttling? How much difference is there between the B550-Plus and...

    PCSPECIALIST How does this build look?

    Hi all, I've been thinking of building a new desktop for a while and am finally biting the bullet after many years of laptops only. I've built a number of PCs in the past, going back over 20 years and was going to build it myself this time although due to difficultly getting GPUs/CPUs etc, and...
