[Full Build] 4K Gaming PC - 2,750$

I've been wondering..
Should I also go ahead and just buy a PCIE 5 / ATX 3.0 power supply as well?
The prices are pretty insane, so not sure if it's worth the extra cost or not.

Corsair makes a dedicated 16 pin cable that's slightly hard to get atm but should become easier over time I know the RMx 2021 supports it not sure why the psu you selected wouldn't support it.

I'm not down a single cent. Return is for the full value of the purchase.
I'll continue waiting for the RTX 7900 XTX before I return it.

Although I'm not a huge fan of the 4080 at it's 1200 usd price I'm also not a huge fan of a 1000 usd gpu sucking at RT and having the lesser of the 2 upscaling techniques. To me it's going to come down to what's more important to you slightly better rasterization performance or better RT/Ai upscaling performance. While FSR has come a long way and I find it impressive what amd is doing without dedicated ai hardware it still looks noticeably worse than DLSS on a 48 inch oled in most games.

For 4k it would have made sense to get a 4090 over either and I'm sure you'd likely have grabbed one if you could go back but while a ton of AMD fanboys are exciting for a 1000 usd gpu that sucks at RT I am not.

I would do what makes sense

It really all depends on the overall performance of the AMD cards.
I'm mostly interested in the RT & VR performance, so we'll see if AMD manages to finally be on-par with nVidia (doubt).
If the gap isn't as massive as it was with the AMD RX 6xxx series, then I'd rather go with AMD just because of the lower cost.
Rumors say that AMD's non-RT performance should beat the 4080, but who knows.

21 days to go!

I would return the 4080 and grab whichever is a better deal after the AMD launch. Most likely the Nvidia cards will come down in price and you will be a little money to the good.

Also fine with me. We'll see
