Got the parts to fix my air conditioner in my car, and a used phone, and a retro handheld I had been putting off.

All used, of course. I’m not contributing back to this corrupt hell government.

    I have a 3080 and usually play on a patient gamer schedule so I don’t really need to update yet, but I sort of wish I had now. I feel like my current build is going to have to last me for a lot longer than anticipated. But that’s ok, it’s probably better for my bank account to hoard the money I have anyway.

      I built at a good time, micro center had the 9800x3d in stock at MSRP 😁 i should be good for 5+ years from now

      Also i was upgrading from a ryzen 7 3800X (predating the x3d line) and to 100% NVME storage (4tb gaming drive and a 1tb boot drive)

        Just having it in stock seems like a miracle from everything I’ve seen for a while. I may be moving to Europe late this year or next year and my income will be dropping to about half (with a generally much lower COL, but PC parts look to be about comparable to the US at the moment) so I’m guessing I may be able to find the parts but affording them will be a different matter.
