BTW what do you guys do with all of your unused PC parts?

I have the following that I don't use anymore (all working in great condition):

Asus Z170-A ATX motherboard (only issue with this is the shitty Intel driver SATA port issue with some HDDs with the Z170 chipset)
Intel Core i5-6500 (stock cooler included, there is an issue with the connector for the fan. It works but motherboards don't recognize that it is connected. I'm sure I could fix it, but I CBA)
Ryzen 5 3600
Sapphire Nitro R9 380 4 GB (W/Backplate version)
HyperX DDR4-2133 16 GB (2x 8 GB sticks)
NIB Fractal Design S Case (Window version)
Asus VG245H 24 inch 1080p Monitor w/freesync (40-75 Hz Freesync range through HDMI)

Craigslist or r/HardwareSwap.

Nice. I'm going to have at least $1200 coming my way on Tuesday after 2 of my auctions end, so I think I'm going to try to get my hands on a 6800 XT or 3080

I’m just not sure I’m invested enough anymore to go higher. I just want 144+ on 1440p at moderate settings in warzone. Everything else seems to get that pretty easy.

Also I’m just not sure how much longer I can handle warzone with their horrible developers and laziness

Hate them all you want, epic kept Fortnite fresh for a long time

So how easy is it to add ram? Just picked up 16gb from the store. Apparently 8gb isn’t enough for tarkov and is the main culprit behind my problems

Figured it out. That was a frick ton easier than I imagined

I'm still deciding if I want to go with that 4k 144hz LG monitor. My current monitor is getting a little buggy and I kind of want to make that jump lol

Ryzen 5 and an rx580. Only had 8gb of ram which was my big issue. Installed 16 gun last night and had zero issues.

I’m completely addicted to this game.

I've seen it a bunch but never looked to grab me so I never tried it out. May have to check it out again.

I was looking at eBay and 6800XT’s are being scalped for almost the same price 6900XT’s are being scalped. 6800XT is about $1100 on average while 6900XT’s are going for $1300-1400

I’m so ready for this drought to end. It’s fricking ridiculous that neither side has any answer for what is happening. Never should have released if supply would be this short.

It was always going to be an issue because TSMC does the fab for Ryzen, Navi, and then new PS5 and Xbox chips.

Supply will start to normalize, and it already has for some chips.

As for a Nvidia, the yields from Samsung weren’t great early.

The good news is it looks like the Ti or SUPER chipsets will come in early 2021 with the 7nm process. Curious to see how that will affect pricing all around for the 3000 series.
