Looking to Build a Desktop

When I bought my work pc on amazon I watched it jump up and down hundreds of dollars over the course of a couple of weeks. Eventually it came back down to $20 over the price I wanted and I pounced.

Amazon costs itself a shit ton in shipping because of stuff like that. I order stuff all day long as it sells out on the store. Sometimes I'll get 5 separate packages of single games because I can't just add something to cart and let it chill for a few hours to see if I'll need something else. I can't make a list and order it all at once at the end of the day. I suppose their system makes sense when dealing with people since they'll flake out on a purchase, but they should have it so if a business adds something to cart it goes out of inventory and becomes earmarked for the business for a few hours or something.

Eh, I've bought 5 of an item on Amazon at once and come home to five separate envelopes in my mailbox.

That happens too .

Wait until you get that M.2 SSD out of the package. It's seriously like a stick of gum. It's the most impressive thing.

The 1080Ti is way overpriced. You are not going to get $200-$250 worth of performance over the 1080. You made the right choice.

any particular reason for the 1TB nvme drive? you could probably easily split that $450 between a 240gb (still nvme) m.2 drive for boot & apps and 1-2TB of standard 2.5" SSD storage for games and shit, but that's just the way I look at things

Yeah, I never got the appeal of paying all of that money for an M.2 drive, when a larger SSD can be had for less.

That's basically what I did. I have a 120GB m2 SSD for my OS, and I used a 2.5"HDD I had laying around for everything else. Then when high capacity SSDs got a bit cheaper, I replaced the HDD.
