    I was thinking of using a bigger nvme because I dont want the plex media playing affecting my gaming performance, or the wife complaining about lag on the stream.
    Drive speed wont be a bottleneck when running plex. If you are doing on server transcoding then your CPU/Ram will matter. Upgrading any type of SSD simply a wastes of money if Plex is your main worry.

    Is this a good time to build a PC or should I wait until DDR5 becomes the norm?

    I managed to get an EVGA XC3 3070 yesterday from Bestbuy ($899). I assume it's good for the price for these days.

    Just debating if I should actually pick it up and make a build.

    Thinking about the following.

    Intel 12600K (not sure about cooler, is air cooler sufficient?)
    MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4
    32GB Ram (3200 CL 16)
    Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB
    Seasonic 750W Platinum Fully Modular

    Not sure about the case yet. Maybe Lian Li O11 dynamic but it sucks you have to buy all the fans.

    Better question is what do you have now?

    I've heard a few times that graphics card pricing should start to come down now

    Currently have one from like 2012/13.

    Intel 3770k, GB UD5H, GTX 960, 16GB Ram.

    I have a couple of ssds and hdds I'll be bringing over to new PC if I were to build.

    Got the EVGA XC3 3070 today too.

    I looked a little bit DDR5. It didn't seem like there enough of the performance gain to make it worth while. DDR4 also seems mush cheaper right now compared to a year or so ago?

    Should be able to keep most my components so going to pick up bare minimum

    Intel I7 12700KF
    PRIME H670-PLUS D4
    Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB ( Had this lying around for a year. Finally get to use it )

    Went to MemX in the NE today and the guy in front of me bought the last CPU so I'll have to try Dalhousie tomorrow

    Also looking at the O11 dynamic but for a totally stupid reason. Just found out the case are reversible, so the window can be on the right side of the case. My towers been on the left side of my desk for a decade and I've been annoyed the windows has been against the wall. But looking at some videos and it looks like it you have to disassemble/reassemble. It looks like a PITA. Currently looking for cases that are assembled inverted but can't seem to find any full sized ones available in Canada < $200

    If you're looking at the O11 to be reversible, make sure it's the latest EVO version.

    I've got the original O11 Dynamic and I absolutely love it

    Looking for some 'good value' suggestions...

    Looks like the DD PC is going to fail soonish. Ancient HP - guess it's about time to revisit a PC build.

    Ordered in a Corsair 110r case, so it'll take up to full ATX motherboard.

    Have a NIB XPG Core Reactor 750w PSU I'm pretty intent on using. Also have a 2060 super founders edition gathering dust on the good junk shelf.

    Thoughts on mobo/cpu/ram? Just looking for a decent mid-range; not after bleeding edge performance, just something that'll last me a few years - without being insane $.

    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xnbgwc

    This is kind of what I'm leaning towards, the MSI Z490 & 11600K

    Decided on the weekend I'm sick of the constant crashing on my aging 780. Gonna start trying to grab new card and throw together a build.

    Is there a discord like for the console drops? Preferably after a 3060ti as I don't game nearly as heavily on the PC anymore.

    3060s were on Amazon for 700$(?)ish this morning with next day for me (from Amazon as a seller). Memex has called me 3x this past month for 3070/3080s

    I've been on a waitlist for the 3080 since Jan 2021, and still haven't gotten a call. I think at this point, they forgot about me.

    Id call the NE or NW store and ask again. Most stock sticking around on shelves seems to be 3070s. But i heard sales bros in the NW telling someone else they had 3080s available (i bought a 3070 Ti cause the 3080s showed sold out online and too lazy to return it).

    At this point, I just don't want to give them my business. I'm sure they'll sell the cards, but I'm just pissed.

    It's not really their fault. They stopped making the 3080 to focus on Ti and 12GB 3080 so they can make more money.

    Yeah, I was trying to hold out for a 3080, but the day never came. The 3080 ti is a joke of a card, so I just went with the 3070 Ti as it was the only thing close enough available.

    I'm slowly gathering all the pieces to build a PC and need advice on a graphics card. For the main pieces so far I have

    MB: Asus TUF Gaming X570-PRO https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00114008
    Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00114452

    I don't do a lot of gaming. I'll be using it for a Plex server and also for some work things when my laptop can't keep up. So I'll need to be able to work with Unreal Engine for creating content, work with large point clouds and work with Reality Capture which is a photogrammetry software.

    Would something like the GeForce RTX 3060 Eagle https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00117403 be ok?

    That will be more than enough for your needs.
