I'm all ears you guys all hate the case but what would you recommend? I like the front panel I guess really is all im stoked over about it but please tell me what else is out there I literally just jumped back into this after 10 years of not even thinking about pc stuff and ive never actually able to build one i wanted to go to career center for computers mom wouldn't let me cause i woke up late and would miss bus and no way to get to the school so I dropped out and that was the last of that journey

Nobody hates that case, it's just the fact it's so ridicolously overpriced and actual cooling wise it isn't anything special at all, just merely ok.
Its a $300 case, you overpaid immensely for it.

Yeah not all bad. Hope PSUs get re stocked soon.

PSUs being in stock might not be the biggest problem when it comes to including a 3000 series card in your build. It might STILL be the worst year ever to upgrade based on, well, being the worst year ever for many people.

Obviously though, we'll have to wait and see, but I suspect that yields ARE to blame, much like Intel's problem when it first released Coffee lake and you couldn't even get one of them unless you were very lucky, for the first three months after release.

Unless NVIDIA has stacked up the supply units(which I don't think they have to a great extent as AIBs them selves were confused regarding specs till day before launch) best bet is to Pre-Order.

I looked into few New X570 as well as Z490 motherboards none of them Support USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Front Panel Connectors. All the Front Panel connectors are regular USB 3.2 Gen2 connectors which are same as USB 3.1 Gen2 connector just renamed. The Motherboards which do support USB 3.2 Gen2x2 have the USB-C Port at their rear which supports 20Gbps.
