Glad I built mine when I did. Literally a month later, it was scalp-central everywhere and its only getting worse now.

What I don't understand is the demand for next-gen consoles. There's like a whole two games for them at this time. Why not wait for another six months? Ebay is full of listings going three or four times the MSRP - which means that someone is willing to pay that much to play spiderman?
What demand, lol? All I heard is that nobody buys it here in Asia, because PC exists.

I've seen people from Moscow talk about how no one can find a PS5. I think consoles became like the Apple devices. A symbol of status.
Here is Western Europe and also the US, these things are sold out before they even get on shelves.

Demand was tight with PS4 as well although not as bad and without all the damn scaplers
I think people are looking for shit to do with quarantine

for whatever reason the 1070ti has not really changed in price for the past 2 years

its not a bad card but it gets blown away by the 30 series

also if you're looking for a used GPU for 1080p stuff use OfferUp and sort by lowest price

found an RX570 + RX580 (8 gb) for $80, which is wicked good for gaming on linux or just average workloads
