OP has a PCI slot on the board,It's old technology and is surprising to see on a modern motherboard.

Could you explain how you came to that conclusion? I came out with the opposite conclusion, that the 3070 was more worth it due to the 6800 not having that much of a gain in pure performance plus the 6800 having worse rt and less features. 

I’ve been after a 3080 myself and have been striking out hard. I got the email from evga saying I could buy a card and I thought it was gonna be a 3080. I open the link and saw the ftw3 3070 and said F it, I’ll buy it. 
Im glad I was even able to get a card. I will say using dlss on Cold War I saw a big difference in my fps, big enough that it made me appreciate having that feature 

Honestly man, I wouldn’t stress about this. At least you were able to get a 3070. I’ve had way better luck with nvidia than amd, that’s why I went with nvidia. Sure the card is slower than the 6800 but it’s not a huge difference from what I’ve seen. 

I didn’t even think of gamepass. The new ms flight simulator is on there too. Thanks for this. You saved me a bunch of money 

@Ankerson
That's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you 

I'd build the pc for the sole reason of you have to pay for PS+ to play online, that shit adds up over the years. If you want something plug and play for a tv the console is the way to go. The PS5 isn't bad, I bought one just for the exclusive games but play everything else on pc

I would definitely look at this site https://www.rtings.com/monitor to find whatever you are looking for. Hands down the most comprehensive review site for monitors imho!
 
Some suggestions:
 
1440p + 165hz: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WQ4FXY9?tag=rtings-mn-r-20&ie=UTF8
 
4k + 60hz: (I have this with a Mac + PS4 Pro, its stunning): https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UK650-W-Monitor-FreeSync-Technology/dp/B078GRM2MV

About time. I’d sell it when you get it back and buy from a different company. You shouldn’t have to go thru that

I wanna see how the amd launch goes. Maybe it will be a little better. 

Fair enough.  But since their launch there seemed to be almost daily threads here for the longest time with the same story.  Crashing.  Blue screens.  Everyone guiding them through the same process of DDU - driver reinstall - nothing working - troubleshoot through the wazoo - RMA.  My buddy that sits 3 chairs down had one in his work system, nothing but problems, its been returned.  I reluctantly tried one because it was the best card bestbuy had, and it was garbage from go. *it had to be returned because it would never work properly*
 
Call it what you want, bad drivers, bad GPU, bad whatever, their last gen was sub-par and the great price was not worth the large amount of defective GPUs and bad drivers that plagued it.  It wasnt a coincidence that almost daily there was a "my 5700XT isnt working for some reason" thread

@viking_power
Im right there with you man. I had a 5700, and 2 sapphire pulse 5700xt cards and had nothing but issues with them. Threw a 2080 super in the same pc and didn’t have a single issue. 
 
I watched the announcement, laughed when they showed the dates and cried a little when they showed the prices.  If the 6800xt was $599 I probably would of given it a shot. With it being  $650 I’ll buy a evga 3070 and enroll in the step up program to a 3080 when I can finally get one. 
 
I’m done trying to solve the black screen issues I had with amd last time and not willing to try them out again. To those of you who’ve had good luck with amd cards, I’m happy for you but this is a gamble I won’t take again 

I had just bought a brand new 5700XT to fill in for a card that is being RMA'd and it did nothing but crash, blue/black screen, and stutter.  This was last week.  Figured they have had long enough to work on their drivers at this point.
 
I dont care how good their price/performance is, IMO the only good thing they are doing is driving down NVIDIA prices.  

The opposite of "Radeon Chill" 

Pretty sure there will be some salty rtx 3090 owners 😛

Yet here you are comparing the 6800 and the 6800XT slides
Think youre the one full of bollocks here friend. 

You have way better consumer laws over there then we have in the states. 
After reading this asus can kiss my ass, I won’t buy their stuff again. This is beyond stupid. If they don’t do the right thing here I’d post email between you and them online for proof so everyone can see how shady they are 

Ive had way more amd driver issues with just the 5700xt then all of my nvidia cards put together going back to the 8800gt 512mb. 

That is interesting. Honestly a “3070 Ti” with those specs would be a perfect 1440p card if such a thing is released. I was hoping to grab a new card before Cyberpunk releases but the plain 3070 just does not seem like enough of an upgrade from the 1080 Ti I currently have.
 
Really excited to see what AMDs new cards look like and how Nvidia responds.

Luckily he doesn’t run from the dogs. He holds his own against this group of idiots. 

Sucks when they keep saying stuff about dlss and I don’t care for any of the games. I need rasterization performance, screw dlss and ray tracing lol
