I built right as the nVidia 3000 series came out, and when I wasn’t able to get one in the first month or two after release I said fuck it and bought one of the last new 2070 Supers I could find. Hooray for availability alerts.
I’ve been wanting to upgrade parts for like a year now, because it’s just starting to have issues with higher graphics settings on 1440p (had 1080p monitors when I bought it). Glad I went with 64GB RAM (DDR4, as was the standard of the time) and a little above mid range on the CPU. It’s absolutely fucking absurd to me that the parts that are still available (mobo, PSU, and GPU aren’t anymore) have effectively held their price point.
