[SOLVED] Good price for system?

Hi,

Is $4,999AUD a decent price for the following system? Trying to get my hands on a 3080 and prebuilt systems seem like the only way to do so.

CPU: Intel Core i9 10900K Avenger Editon 10 Core 20 Thread CPU

MOBO: Asus TUF Z490-PLUS Gaming Wi-Fi Motherboard
GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 3080 TUF 10G Graphics Card

MEM: 1TB Samsung 980 PRO PCIe Gen 4.0 NVME SSD, 2TB Samsung 870 SSD

PSU: Fractal Design ION 860W 80+ Platinum Power Supply

All advice appreciated!

your PC without Card is 2540 $AU

so it is expensive , they are asking 2450$ for the card alone

Just wait it out a little bit. The cards will be more than readily available. I almost did the same thing here is the USA, looking at a few pre-built/build your own systems. But it is just not worth it - unless you are one of those people that just "have to have it first".

What do you have now?
Is your intended use gaming at 4k resolution?
If so, then yes, a 3080 class card is what you need.
But, at 4k resolution, games are not so dependent on the processor.
Here is a review:

@4k, even a 3600 does well.
