PC experts, which i'm not, I need an honest opinion on my prebuilt rig. Parts are so damn hard to find these days that a basic GTX 1660 is now going for around $500 on Amazon or Newegg. So I had to resort to a build and the best value I found is Alienware and because I have a $4K tab with them. So here is what I purchased today. PLEASE let me know if it's a bad build or if I should wait. I can always cancel the order.
Alienware Aurora R10:
Ryzen 5800X (I went with the 8 core only because of future proofing. I would like this build to last around 7 yrs.)
1TB SSD nvme
32GB Dual channel 3400Mhz
6800XT (I chose this ONLY because it's a 16GB card. Supposedly the RTX 3080 Ti could be 16 or 20GB but no one is sure if it will appear and at what cost). Ray tracing for me is not a big deal but FPS, is.
Wifi 6
1000W PSU with liquid cooling
Total cost minus tax was $2429.99. Delivery date should be Feb 24th.
