    PCSPECIALIST Switch 3080 to 3090 for a faster build?

    Well, I contacted support to just check in on current wait times & they said the regular 3090 is 2-3 months, but could be more, could be less lol. And the Strix, while there's less people on the list for them, delivery of stock is sporadic so that's like 2-4 months apparently.

    PCSPECIALIST Can you add a closed loop waterblock for the GPU?

    Hey all, I'm upgrading to a 5950x/3090 build from a 8700k/1080 laptop build (had to go laptop for a bit to make space for my daughter. Haha!), so I know generally this will blow my current system out of the water. But I was wondering, as I don't see these options when looking at the PC...
