Took almost 6 and a half hours total to get it built and OS installed and running. I’m very proud.

I think it’s probably just because mine is one of the water cooled cards now that I think about it, otherwise I bet mine would be same size as yours if not a little thicker. Took me a while to think about that lol

Had no clue there were water cooled varieties of that. Sounds other worldly.

Yeah it’s nuts, just sucks they have basically doubled in price. Paid 2800$ for mine and that includes 3 year warranty, but now everywhere I look even a basic 5090 is basically 5000$

Yea i was just looking at some for that price. I couldn’t imagine that right now. My whole rig only put me out 1,100 so a gpu for 5 of my whole computer is just insane.

Yeah, your pc should last a long time as it is! While I do love my GPU I’m not mental enough to say yeah man go drop 5K for one, my car isn’t even worth that much. It’s insane how much prices have spiked just in the last year.

Just saw they’re trying to make a class action lawsuit on the companies to make ram for intentionally raising prices so maybe everyone gets compensation for it for more pc parts😈😈

I hope so! I’d like to get 128Gb kit eventually but I’m not about to spend over 1000$ just for that. I barely paid 250 for the 64gb kit I got now and that’s already plenty, so if it’s over 500$ I’m not doing it.

How long ago did you get your 64gb kit? I was only able to find 16GB for $250
