Oh no, I ordered the new one. Just checking to see what I can keep and carry over.

Going to switch out the Ram and hook up the m.2 from the old one.

The only things you'll want to carry over are probably the M.2 drive and RAM. I would still do a clean Windows install after swapping the M.2 over so you can get clean drivers installed

You can swap the ram from the new pc into the old so you still have a useable/sellable machine

Will windows come with it installed or will I have to do it?

It'll come installed but I don't know if those pre-built companies load it down with bloatware or not

The best Pre-built computer for around $1500? I don't really want to build again right now.

It's tough to just "get one" right now since most of them for MSRP deals are usually scooped up very quickly. I would keep an eye on r/buildapcsales and sort it by new to see when good deals pop up

Didnt you have a post about a new gaming monitor for me?

I want to stream again and my old backup monitors arent working right, so I may as well make my current on a back up

Dont I need something with gsync?

And just a (mostly) copy/paste from the gpu thread, if anyone is interested:

After a year to the fricking day of being in the queue, I hit on an EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming (10G-P5-3897-KL) yesterday. Per EVGA, my expected delivery date is around October 15th, but we'll see with all the now normal shipping delays.

Anyway, looks like market value is currently about $1,700. I'm out of pocket $1,000 with taxes and shipping, so I'm willing to part with it to someone on here for $1,350, though someone local could probably get me down to $1,300 if they can convince me they will actually game on the damned thing

If I don't get any bites here by time the card arrives, I'll probably just list it on FB marketplace or offer it up on Discord for full scalp.
