I'm on a b450M so pcie gen 3 worries at all?

I wouldn't worry about that. Pcie gen 4 is only pretty much needed on lower end cards i.e 6500 and below who need as much bandwidth as possible for them to run semi nicely

So lemme get this straight, you can buy a GPU and keyboard, or a better GPU, for the same price? 
If you don't need a keyboard, buy the latter.

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

Between a Powercolour Red Devil 6750XT 12 GB and Ducky RGB Powercolour keyboard  OR a Powercolour Radeon RX 6800 FIGHTER 16GB.  I have a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and 32GB of Corsair DDR4 running at 3600Mt's. Both are £510. 

I'd happily get my rubber dome cheap logitech keyboard from storage for a more powerful GPU.

The 6800, it's a nobrainer unless you want a rainbow keyboard.

I obviously have a keyboard, but it's a dell...  But will the 6800 bottleneck me on 1440p?

I had an inkling of a worry and it's no biggy really as I intend on upgrading to b650 at some point in the future.  Is the card I'm choosing a decent card or a bit meh?  Just want as much info on if I'm making a good choice or not.

 

Getting the 6800.  It's got no RGB, which I would of preferred as I like it now, but performance is what I'm after and at that it's good.
