I had to sit up to 00:40 to order 2. Still probably easier than getting a 3080.

I realised after I edited, but thought i'd leave it for anyone casually viewing.

With that budget i'd wait a week and order with the new 3080. With a bit of trimming from the above spec you could probably squeeze in a better monitor for gaming aswell. Not sure i'd waste £600-£700 on a gpu that will be redundent so soon.

What are people’s thoughts on availability? At these price points I can see limited stock vanishing fast, or have the manufacturer’s ramped up and I missed something.

I just can’t imagine them having similar raytracing performance for that price point. Maybe a general performance increase over the nvidia cards with some raytracing performance at a lower price? (2080s performance at £400)

I believe I will preorder a 3080 and then get a new build with a 3070 when the AMD 4xxx chips come out.(If the wife lets me)

Just saw it mentioned in latest Gamers Nexus news

Yeah that’d be about right. I imagine you could use a 650w but you wouldn’t be overclocking anything so would be pointless. Personally I upgraded to an 850w in anticipation lol I thought the adapter was 2x 8pin to 12pin

Seriously impressed with the pricing this time round. Although I don’t think it’s been confirmed everywhere says around 320w for 3080. AMD gonna have to work some magic I think. Competition is good of course.

It was as much for the benefit of the second poster as the first ( I was away for a week and I had a notification for this post ) Of course with current waiting times may have a chance.

I'm quite suprised no one jumped on this, I dont think this is a great build for your uses. At the very least i would think you would want a r5 3600. (probably higher) You would definely want faster RAM, an M.2 ssd and better powersupply. @SpyderTracks or @Scott What would be best for a budget...

Something along these lines. Decent budget case. 3800x great for editing and streaming. X570 motherboard lets you have fastest m.2 and future support for newer chips. 1660super perfect for 1080. 32gb RAM for editing and a great budget cooler. Ive put the fastest m.2 here as os and a 1 tb hdd -...

Whats your max budget? Is this a pure gaming machine or streaming/work. What monitor do you have/intend to buy resolution and refresh rate? Should definately be looking for faster RAM,an m.2 ssd and better power supply at a minimum, perhaps even an AMD system based on use case.

The AMD site for the 3600 says temps are ok up to 95 degrees so I would guess 80s would be acceptable under load. I assume the cooler is running ok? Have you tried changing fan profiles etc

Something along these lines would suit. X570 motherboard for better upgradability, faster m.2 ssd (you'd picked an old sata ssd) Decent power supply, faster RAM, better wifi. Stock cooler is good enough for 3600. That said, if you wanted a true upgrade you should aim for a 1440 144hz system...

Is this going to be purely gaming or streaming etc What monitor are you pairing it with? resolution and refresh rate.

I'm in agreement with @Nursemorph. I'd ask what you expected from an upgrade as apposed to what a new build can give you. Would you stick with 1080 or aim for 1440. Faster load times etc Whats your budget for new?

@Nursemorph Once again you catch me making a fool of myself - I actually have the s2716d (Had to look it up) Apologies OP

Assuming only for gaming, Personally i'd drop the cooler - 3600 stock cooler is good enough and the DVD writer (get an external to help with case thermals and up the RAM to 2x8 3600mhz (usually not much more cost). edit - removed 'advice' because I can't read.
