I am still waiting to hear on my 5800x and 3070. I got about 2 weeks before I want to finish my build, I am hoping they come in before then.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Haha, believe me it was a surprise. It was the SE location too which makes it even more surprising. The reply was one line with zero punctuation, greeting, or signature, which was still more than I was expecting.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Do any of you guys use support brackets for your GPU? My 3080 is bowing down a bit in the middle of the board and metal backing.
Always a good idea to use one, especially if it's visibly bowing. The socket can probably handle it, especially on a high end board, but I personally don't like it as it can't be good long-term. GPUs are way bigger than they used to be these days.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I always use all of the case mounted screws that the GPU comes with, and try to bend it up a bit and tighten the crap out of them. But otherwise I don't put any additional brackets on since the card wasn't designed for it.
I've got 2 screws in the pice slots, but my EVGA 3080 doesnt really bend, which card do you have thats visibly bowing?
Anyone have a recommendation on an SSD-somewhere around 250 to 500GB? Turns out my Crucial M500 is over it's rated TBW...
Have my eye on a Sabrent Rocket 4 right now.
Usage is just to go into my Plex/Surveillance server.

They are a tad more, but after years or replacing supposedly reliable Intel drives, I switched to Samsung and haven't had to replace one yet, and I've got at least 4 well past the 5 year warranty.
I didn't compare them all, but the SATA 860 evo is $45 off right now, so $75 for a 500 GB at Mem Ex.

If it's just for storage, get whatever Samsung 850/860 or Crucial MX500 is on sale at the moment. I picked up a 2TB MX500 for $170 a while ago, and if you're shopping in the 250-500GB range they are extremely cheap.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Paying up for PCI 4.0 isn't going to be noticeable for your listed usage, I wouldn't bother with the Rocket 4 personally.
Samsung's "Pro" drives are rated for much higher endurance but they are expensive so it might still be more cost effective to churn cheap drives.
Thanks guys. Only reason I wanted a m.2 form factor was so that I could free up another SATA port for when I need it in the future.
Edit: It's been a while, MLC>TLC? Or is it the other way around?

Well, after helping others to get video cards, now that it is time to build my PC this weekend, I can't find shit.
Anyone able to help me out? If you get a call from MemX or whatever saying your reservation is available and you don't want it anymore, please, let me know, I will take it. Any of the 30 series or AMD 5800 series.
Hell, I will even take a 2080 for a REASONABLE price.

I went to MemEx over the weekend and put my name down for an ASUS TUF 3060ti. They told me there's 7 people on the waitlist so I hope it's not a long wait.
Pure impulse buy and I'm not even sure I need it. If I end up not buying it, I'll send you a PM. Fuck them scalpers.
Thanks, dude! I would appreciate it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I am just kinda bummed. This is my first build in like 20 years and I am super excited for it, and I can't even get the parts, even with ordering stuff in advance. Grrrr! Talk about a buzzkill.

I dropped by MemEx NE two weekends ago and they got nothing. They checked my line up for a 3070 at NW and said I might get a call if that model comes in. He didn’t say what position I’m in for that card. Maybe he was just being nice to give me some hope.
