I'm not sure they really turned off all 3000 series automated emails, just got one this morning stating a 27th Nov build date, with a strix 3080 in order

to be blunt - it wouldn't run anything well, your choices are poor. you could tell us your budget and maybe we can figure something out, sound design AND video software requires a decent budget as it needs a good CPU, lots of fast RAM, a decent GPU and fast storage options, which usually equals...

the new AMD processors will beat intel in most cases, from gaming to music production. I do music/sound myself and I've gone for the 5900X. The builds you're seeing on the website are probably not updated since the new AMD cpu's released, since before that, intel was the way to go, but now their...

I did opt for a PCS m.2 in my current build i'm awaiting, but in my lenovo laptop I have a 970 EVO m.2, I just see Lenovo logo for a 1-2sec and then the welcome screen, but only if i'm looking hard enough

you won't really see the windows booting up :) just a short flash of bios and the welcome screen

according to gamers nexus on youtube, Steve there said aftermarket cards are supposed to come out in 2 to 3 weeks, but most likely some will show up in a week. of course there is no information of how many PCS has ordered and how many will they get and how fast

good news for strix orders, maybe if strix models keep coming in at a steady pace, they can push through faster than non-strix, seems like strix is a bit in front now

it'll launch when Samsung figures out how to produce the silicon in decent figures

5900X is definitely enough for gaming, 5950X is only better if you're doing any work that might use CPU. There are exceptions such as MSFS, but in most cases, the price difference is not worth it

at this point you'd probably just get an automated email from Santa

I'd recommend not trying to spend on a gaming computer if you are broke :)

you'd definitely want to think about AMD and at least 16GB of faster RAM, an m.2 drive and a better monitor.

everyone unhappy with the waiting (which was to be expected, unless you did 0 research on what you're buying) please just cancel, you'll make life easier for both PCS and the others waiting in line

Yeah, by slightly I meant a few celsius difference, nothing extreme, that's why it won't make any difference to anyone who's just going for a simple gaming setup. And the noise is just different fans on different branded cards, this is a straight hit on the strix card as it already has...

I agree with Nurse, if you're just looking for simple gaming experience and nothing too serious, any card will do just fine, they're powerful as it is, the only difference you might feel is noise levels and maybe slight temperature differences, but if you know what you're doing and you know it...

I don't think that noctua is going to keep up with a threadripper, you need a good AIO liquid cooler for that. And you can drop the bullguard, known to cause issues more than being helpful

You get anything that's available, most likely a Palit, Zotac or a Gigabyte. If you really want a premium 3080, get an Asus ROG strix card. Also it's always a good idea to share your full build here to check for any issues or optimization you could get

If you change the GPU which is on the longest pre-order then maybe, but other parts should be ok. I did order mid october myself with intel CPU and a strix 3080 and changed to a ryzen 5900X after they were released and I was told that there isn't a separate queue for the gpu, they use the...

you can amend orders after placing them until they go into physical building

I would hope that around 40 days is the average wait period, seems like some people got their rigs at least into building by then, hopefully the people cancelling their orders because of AMD gpus, outside sourced gpus and other reasons will let us push through faster. And maybe nvidia has more...
