My home-made pizza tops any delivery, and I always get to eat it hot out of the oven.

What state/country do you live in?

Not sure if the adverse tariff effects would be screwing us by the 6 month mark. That’s my major concern. I guess I could get a 3080 or 4080 ( though I feel like the 30 is better value ) right now and hold off on wholesaling my mobo/cpu/ddr4 but I feel like my cpu would then be a major bottleneck compared to everything else.

Side note, I’ve been an Intel guy my whole building career and I’m 100% jumping ship for AMD. Intel shat the bed and pulled the sheets over it and now their whole room smells like shit and I want no part of it. Cool to see hardly anyone even mentioning Intel chips now.

Disagree. Not helpful.

That’s why you just build a gaming PC for 3x the price and just replace parts for 3x the price until what you want comes out.

Would this be a good game for someone who sucks at video games? As in, is it story/puzzle based and less technical skill based?

This better be a private school

Excuse me, my crimes obviously involved interstate commerce so that I could get charged federally.

Yeah my sli was useless about 4 years ago when games stopped supporting it. That’s why I’m giving her my 2nd card because it’s useless in my rig.

As for a new build for me, I should probably just wholesale and upgrade to a DDR5/current chip mobo because I think my i7 6700 is really what’s holding me back past my card.

I vaguely remember ~7 years ago when I built it having issues with the gpus. The main issue was that I needed to boot my OS with a single card, get everything up and running, then shut down again and add the SLI and 2nd card. I also vaguely remember thinking the wiring was silly but it worked and for 7 years it was “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” until now.

Update on my building journey: my wife’s new build (waiting for 3 more case fans):

Posting this on all threads:

Fixed: this was my first ever build and after reseating my gpu, I saw some less than intelligent wiring (6+2 pin coming out of my card, daisy chained to a 6 pin that then went into the VGA port on my power supply). I cringed and pulled those wires and replaced it with a PCIE cable from my wife’s new build (the reason I removed my 2nd 1080 in the first place). That cable only went into a CPU slot on the power supply but didn’t think much of it. Turns out using cables that are not associated with your specific PSU is a nono. Everything works fine and I am dumb for several reasons but at least I learned with (seemingly) no catastrophic consequences.

Thank yall for your help and consideration and sorry I wasted your time.

I am one and yeah…it’s weird here.

I like how long island is red but not the rest of NY.

It does not =[

Updating drivers was suggested by a friend to do after I started up but now I don’t have any video output so I guess I need to figure something else out . I feel dumb

Tried that, got the monitor to wake up but still didn’t display anything. Then I replaced the power cable to the card and now the whole pc isn’t turning on so looks like I get to figure that out tomorrow. I’ll check if I have a jumper on my board too and get back to you. Thanks for the help though
