Hi

I am ordering the following today, well after 2pm - not sure why that time is flagged in my mind today......

Case
CORSAIR 275R AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU
Motherboard
ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0) – A RGB Ready!
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 16GB)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 7000MB/R, 5000MB/W)


In terms of Graphics pretty much everything is heading out of stock or on longer lead times etc so am taking a view of getting a card to tide me over for 12 months to let the pandemic hopefully disappear and the new NVidia cards to come into stock properly and also the AMD ones. Also with the latest Photoshop update my desktop can no longer run the software given the card I have is too old.

So I need to do a temporary card route I think.

Therefore am looking at the 1660 Super and considering the Zotac Twin Fan which I could order through PCS but it is currently out of stock but also they cannot guarantee that is what they would install so from reading the forums I could end up with the Palit which having looked on the internet I am not warming to with only one fan etc.

The Zotac is in stock with eBuyer so am considering getting it from them and adding in myself which is not a problem. This I am guessing would add to the resale value later as I could then eBay it fully boxed etc when I do take the plunge and get one of the new releases. This then leads me onto what would resale better the Zotac or an ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER DUAL EVO 6GB OC or an MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER VENTUS XS 6GB OC all of which they have within a few pounds of each other.

Thanks
