If you're planning on stripping the gpu and flipping the PC... I've had this PC listed for $500 for 2 months and no buyers. It's totally worth $500 or more but nobody wants em. 😅

Quote from SociableWren1282 :
This whole thread is a bunch of basement dwelling neckbeards shitting on a decent deal for not being top of the line, all because they got into grandma's savings when she wasn't looking and bought Gamestop stock. Why they need to spend an extra $800 just to masturbate to hentai is beyond me. I guess it's so they can be toxic elitist douches on an internet forum.

This is a good setup for anyone who doesn't think they're an athlete because they spend 10 hours a day trash talking kids in arena FPS games in their grammy's cellar.
The 3060 is bad value though. It's literally the same as the 1070 which was a $200 gpu prior to scalping. A 1080 can be had scalped for $400 and is FASTER than the 3060.

Probably because everyone is doing the same thing you did. No one has a GPU to put into it lol

The 3070 MSRP is twice that of the 3060. They are marketed to different audiences, but it's all moot now anyway cuz you can't get anything without markup.

agree on the value, but the 3060 is markedly better than the 1070
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Com...4105vs3609

and slightly slower than the 1080
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Com...4105vs3603

and if you're just buying these to sell vs use, or use a short time then sell - comparing resale, the 3060 will get you more $$ back when you sell

Lol. 3060 isn't too bad. But it's of really bad value. 3060 ti is a big step up. You can find prebuild with 3060 ti for not too much more expensive. HP Pavilion for example. Albeit Alienware probably has higher quality.

As someone who only had 1060 3gb, this will be a nice upgrade. Those 12gb of extra vram should really come in handy on games requiring more than 8gb of vram, without gimping the card.

Actually the old school cases were unique and cool.
This design looks like a Vajayjay.
Some of us like the way vajayjay looks, and like to play with the vajayjay. What can i say?
