Today's shuffle prices suck. Some sorry SOB is paying $3000 for a generic 1080p monitor and a 3090 LOL.
Fuck off Newegg.

Until we see prices at MSRP, everybody loses, every time.Terrible day in shuffle-land. Even if I win I will feel like I lost with these combos.
Sold outin stock again
check multiple times per day. These have been in stock numerous times, for 2-3 weeks.Sold out
they are making it easier to not get too disappointed with the pricing. I haven't even bothered to enter in the last few. Not worth it. Not when you still have a legitimate chance of getting a best buy (closer to MSRP) card every couple weeks.0-48, my blood pressure will continue to elevate.
I'm still spending 2k plus tax on a graphics card, since the rest is garbage 99% of the time and has no possibility of being resold and it is nothing I want. Most systems with 3080s are in the 2.5k+ range anyway, select few are at the 2k point.they are making it easier to not get too disappointed with the pricing.

Or just buying a prebuilt which has a full PC wrapped around it for $2k with a 3080 card. So spend $500 more to get a full PC over the newegg shuffle $1500 3080 with a crap 550 motherboard, 1080P monitor, or mid tier PSU.

Yes, usually closer to $2.5K, but there have been and continues to be $2K deals pop up. Slickdeals.net lists them. Discord channels list them. This system just popped a minute ago. Hardly trash.

The cases on these are actually decent, aside from the looks and that the window isn't tempered glass. But otherwise, they have lots of ventilation and opportunities to add fans. And the cable management is as good as anything, really. In terms of actually serving your computer's fit and function, I think these current Asus cases are better than most of the pre-built stuff from the big brands.Well the case is trash, but every prebuilt gaming system today comes with enough RGB that its hard copy Prop 65 (cancer) warning should be bigger than the system itself.
Specwise though, the one thing that raises my ire is the tiny size of the HDD. If you're going with split storage, 4TB for $60 would be a lot more useful than 2TB for $30 at that price point.
The only thing I would find mildly useful in that setup would be the 512gb ssd. For a gaming machine, it's ridiculous to include such a small drive, mechanical drives are trash for gamers. Useless cpu without igpu. Ram speed unidentified, but I am guessing at best it is 3200mhz cl22. Likely useless motherboard and power supply.No to bold.

Those Asus PCs currently have this mobo, which is pretty nice: https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b560-g-gaming-wifi-model/The only thing I would find mildly useful in that setup would be the 512gb ssd.

I cant believe anyone wants these video cards at the prices they are demanding right now.
I've got a 3070 and am not planning on a new system this year, so am only interested in an unbundled 3080.I will still pay for a 3070 or 3080. I've stopped with the 3060s.
And at 1080p it really screams towards the "gamer" who care more about FPS than actually looking highly detailedA 360 Hz IPS monitor. For some purposes it's about as good as a monitor gets.
High framerate 1080p isn't just about responsiveness. Its more detailed in motion, than higher resolutions at more pedestrian framerates.And at 1080p it really screams towards the "gamer" who care more about FPS than actually looking highly detailed
Hey I’m proof that you too can be taken advantage of by corporate greed.Rejection seems to be a very common theme. I'm 0-34 myself and today was no different once again.
which 3070 did you get?Hey I’m proof that you too can be taken advantage of by corporate greed.
That said, anybody need a b550 motherboard? And honestly I’m a little let down by this gigabyte 3070. For as huge as it is, it runs very toasty and noisy compared to my 2080 Super for about a 10-15% performance boost.
Gigabyte Aorus Master. I do need one more case fan so that it blows across the back plate which may help temps somewhat. But I don’t expect more than 2 C.which 3070 did you get?
Oh weird. Yeah that fan setup would be noisy.Gigabyte Aorus Master. I do need one more case fan so that it blows across the back plate which may help temps somewhat. But I don’t expect more than 2 C.

Nope just a standard atx aorus pro acb550 mATX?
I have a Matx x570 motherboard if you wanna PM me it’s for a project that got fucked because my wife wants a baby.b550 mATX?
keep checking. they tend to release their drops in small batches.So apparently Best Buy had a random restocking of the 3090 FE this afternoon, and according to the hotstock app they were available for a bout 10 minutes. Of course it notified me at the END of the 10 minute window rather than the beginning. I don't think I've seen them restock 3000 series that late before...
Being able to get in the queue doesn't mean available. I was there at the beginning. Guess how many I got? 0So apparently Best Buy had a random restocking of the 3090 FE this afternoon, and according to the hotstock app they were available for a bout 10 minutes.

Never even got one into my cart. Too bad! I think my chances would've been decent had I known when it actually started ... I'm near an area (Dallas) with lots of Best Buy stores. Oh well! I tried.Yeah I had two cart in my card, but no store nearby for either.
The funny thing is that there are a bunch of 6700 XT on craiglist (at least in my area) for $950 or so whereas the few 3060 ti up for sale start at $1200. I don't understand who will pay 30% more for slower performance.I will still pay for a 3070 or 3080. I've stopped with the 3060s.
just got the add to cart on both computers. it sold out instantly. didn't even get it into my cart.I was trying to get Asus TUF 3070. They had drop. I clicked add to cart and then got the "please wait" ----- but it never gave me the second option to actually add to cart. Two different computers.
