Hey baws, I need some help with a build I've got going.
I have most of the parts purchased and being shipped. Went with a 10700k, asus tuf z490, 32 gigs of ram, got a liquid cooling unit, a nvme drive. Ordered a 144hz 1440p monitor as well.
The only thing im missing is a GPU. I've got a line on a 3070 evga ftw3 ultra for $730 im thinking of jumping on.
I kind of want to wait it out for a 3080 but it almost seems like overkill.Warzone is my main game but I will definitely be playing other games as well. I just want to make sure i can game in 1440p 100+ fps in most games, preferably on higher settings.

Where's the other $120+ coming from? You buying from a 3rd party site?

Local fb marketplace sale, the dude paid 610, 51+ in taxes, and is selling to me for $720. Thats roughly 60 bucks over what i would pay ordering it myself, when I can find it.

Exactly, I'm ok with paying $60 premium to not have to fight to get one right now.
My question is not about the price of the card, it's if its gonna perform like I want or do I need to wait for a 3080?
Just going to get this card and see how it does. If it's not enough, i'll use it until I can find a 3080.

It was actually $600.34, now that I look back. However mine is slightly different. EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P5-3755-KR, 8GB GDDR6, iCX3 Cooling, ARGB LED, Metal Backplate
I am not the one to ask that question, but I dont think you will notice a difference.

MSRP is $499. LINK
That is horrible value and you should definitely wait.

Show me where there's an EVGA 3070 ftw3 ultra for 499. on that site or anywhere in the world. The base price for the FTW3 ultra variant is 609.99 on their site.

That isn't what I said, I said a 3070 MSRP is $499. AIB cards are $50-100 more. You're paying over $700 for a card that is ~$599 in 2 months.
You'd have to be a frickin idiot to pay that.
You can literally find $699 3080 drops weekly.
Are you trolling us or what?

I feel like it's you who is trolling.
Fortunately I'm buying an aib card then...
I'm paying g $60 more than I would from evga.
Debatable. Then you still have to fight bots and get lucky.

What is your current graphics card? Do you absolutely need this thing now?
Posted on 12/31/20 at 4:11 pm to boXerrumble
I have no graphics card and parts here by wendesday. Ready to build
Posted on 12/31/20 at 4:18 pm to BayouBengals337
I’d gladly pay $60 premium to not have to sit around watching a stock discord all day and have it in-hand, especially if I didn’t have another GPU
Posted on 12/31/20 at 4:27 pm to BayouBengals337
It is not hard AT ALL to get a card with a little patience. Paying $730 for a 3070 when you can get a 3080 for $699 in ~2 weeks with just a little effort... Dumb as frick.
Has to be a troll.

That too. So many reasons to not grossly overpay for a lesser product just because you're impatient. But that's today's consumer sadly.

I’ve not done ryzens yet for thermal paste, 5 dot method the way to go? Any guides for how big the dots should be?
