Is it worth it?

I'm going to say no, that's not a good deal, because $1,600.00 USD is a $550.00 USD markup from MSRP ($1,049.99 USD). But obviously, nothing is a 'good deal' in the GPU market right now. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

I agree. Paying scalper level prices just sucks. It seems like the best advice lately is that if you really don't need a new GPU, just hold off until prices come down to retail levels again.  It is my dearest dream that people will stop paying the scalpers and they will all end up with stock they cannot sell for more than they paid for it. Sadly, people with $$ will keep paying them, thus encouraging the behaviour.

Could you please convert your images to some more common format? Or just write what card and what price we are supposed to see.
