If anyone else here has been trying to get a new graphics card over the last year, then y'all know the struggle. I've been entering the Newegg Shuffle lotteries nearly every day since March and I actually got selected!! It was one of the combo entries with a curved 1440p 165hz monitor, too, which is perfect since one of my curved 1080p 60hz monitors broke a few months ago.

This isn't the last component I need for my new build, but it was absolutely the hardest to acquire. happy happy joy joy~

Yeeeah it was a pretty penny lol. It was an ASUS card and ASUS monitor, so rounded up to $2,500 total.

I've been using Twitter restock accounts to help me get a PS5 and I finally nabbed one a couple of weeks ago. It felt so good unfollowing them and not having my phone bombarded by random drops in the middle of the night. Congrats and enjoy 3080Ti!

Congrats to you!! Yeah I joined two discords to track stock across online retailers and my local Micro Centers, but I won't leave them until my card is physically at my doorstep lol.

Congrats, searching for a 3080 became my 2nd full time job when I was building mine. It sucked, but it's an awesome card.

Are you a Gamestop Pro Member or subscribed to Gamefly? Those seem to be the easiest ways to get one in my experience, though they're usually only bundles. I just locked in a second PS5 today for my friend when Gamestop restocked earlier. Walmart/Target/Best Buy/etc. are total nightmares and I wouldn't even bother. And yeah those notifications are too much lol

i think the Twitter notifications are only useful if you dont have a job (you need A LOT of free time to catch them) and live in the middle of nowhere (less competition)

Fair enough. The bundle came with everything I would've bought anyway so I lucked out, but getting just the console is still going to be a headache. Good luck to you guys

I don't know much about Gamefly personally but I've been a Pro Member for years - it's $15 a year iirc but you can use points from purchases at the store to renew your subscription each year so I haven't actually paid for it in a long time. That coupled with seeing the ideal bundle being offered made it an easy pick for me. Alternatively you can get the bundle and sell all the games and stuff that you don't want to make some of the money back.
