I tacked on a 20 dollar dvd drive just to have the option but I really don't see it necessary. I'm gonna buy a blue ray drive sometime soon too but again I can't really think of any reason it's necessary

I haven't used one in years. If you need one, you likely already know it.

not really. they're huge and take up space.

if you ever need one in the future, you can buy a usb one for like 20 bucks on amazon.

The way people are talking it may be difficult to get your hands on a 3000 series so be prepared to grab one right away.

Its like a perfect storm of people upgrading from old hardware (2000 series was not worth jumping to for a lot of people), scalpers, and crypto miners rushing to grab these

Well who are you buying the gpu from? You can get a Founders Edition from NVIDIA or a version of the card from another manufacturer (that will most likely have different cooling)

It's going to be first come first serve basis, and expect scalpers to be fuckers about it.

Haven't read the whole thread but consider that zen 3 (i.e. ryzen 4000 series) is coming out octoberish, presumably.

They'll be priced equivalently to zen 2, presumably as well. So for the price of your 3700X you can get a 4700x, or possibly get the 3700x on a price cut if you wait.

For a rtx 3080, you'll need at least 750W PSU. Maybe go 850W if you want to be safe.

Only get a crazy mobo if you plan on overclocking, otherwise just get one without bells and whistles.

That's an expensive CPU cooler. I would just get a Noctua that fits your case.

Different mobo, different CPU cooler, wait for zen 3 and you save $200-400
