PC upgrade time.

[ramrod126]

Finally able to upgrade my PC. All the parts in my current system are between 2 and 7 years old. Funny part is I am going to re use some of the 7 year old parts (case and PSU) and a few other newer things like ram and an SSD or two but here is my pile of upgrades that is happening tomorrow.

Newegg. It took a lot of searching to find a 30 series that was both in stock and shipped from the US. I will not, however, admit what I paid for it.

I should mention the one I got is now out of stock.

I been on their shuttle a dozen times with no luck.  Not allowing myself to get raped though.

I didn't get raped, I got gang raped.

Ok, so you bought a NAS hard drive...

 

The SSD you picked is somewhat considered iffy despite being a Samsung.

Man I'm jealous of anyone who can afford current gen GPU prices. My 1060 will be sweating for a few more years it seems.

I bought a whole new computer instead earlier this year as it was cheaper then trying to buy separate parts.

Dunno how much of a difference there is between a 1060 and a 3060 but it does look that a new store brought is currently cheaper than doing seperately like myuhinny says

This seems to make more sense really.

I still crackle with a RX480. So far it holds. It had its moments of failure but i was strangely able to save it.
