[SOLVED] Best 3080 ti prebuild under 4,500?

[Pepsi_Man]

Heck, I'd like to go even under that price if possible. I have my mouse and keyboard, but I still need a 1440p monitor. A lot sites I've looked at bottom dollar seems to be around 5k. I think you can get a build under that on Digital Storm, but I don't know enough to know what's a bad selecton for that. I want an i9 processor.

Those companies will charge more than what it really cost. 5K is too much for a system like this. Below is an exemple of what it cost to build it yourself or get someone to build it for you.

That's what I've heard, but I don't know of anyone that can build for me, and I break everything I touch, lol. Do you know of a cheaper company?

I will check. I would build it for you if I was close.

I live in North Carolina. The way my luck is there's probably no one in my part of NC, though.

Well, I've recently ordered from Newegg, and they randomly cancelled my order after a few days, and the support said they don't know why...

Back to the first step of finding a decent prebuild.
