Oh Wow! That'll be a huge jump.
Indeed 1070 to 2070 was not worth the cost [ I'm still gaming on a 24 inch Dell @ 1080
but with the performance coming up

PC Part picker just leads you to sites with the cheapest prices for each part. So, far I've been buying everything through Amazon. I've got the case, B550 MB, M.2 SSD, and the ram so far. I'm going to wait for the RTX3080 or 3070. Plus, AMD is announcing the Ryzen 4000 series on Oct 8th. If nothing excites me there. I'll get the R7 3700X or the 3800X.
My goto used to be Newegg, but with the Rise of Amazon .... I've done 90% of my last 2 builds came from Amazon
I did pickup a few parts from B&H Photo in Manhattan
B&H Photo Video Digital Cameras, Photography, Computers
Shop Digital Cameras, 35MM Camera Equipment, Photography, Photo Printers, Computers, Home Theater, Authorized Dealer Canon, Sony, Nikon, Apple, Olympus, Panasonic, Kodak, JBL

The prices were the same for the parts .. and there was free shipping so why not spread the wealth

Yes. I've seen them. PC Part Picker lists them quite often. I just like Amazon. Very easy to deal with.
Jeff Bezos thanks you.

Okay and I tell Jeff Bezos, "You're welcome". If you or anyone else wants to politize Amazon, I don't care. All of their trains come in on time. I order stuff and it shows up on my door step in a day or two. I need to return something, it's done, no questions asked. Amazon is what it is because they do their sh!t right. It's what we call a successful business.

Actually, the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro motherboard I bought does support PCIe Gen 4 for the CPU, GPU, and the first M.2 SSD slot. I bought a 500 GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD for the first M.2 slot and a 1 Tb PCIe Gen 3 SSD for the second slot which run off of the chip set. I took your advice and am going to get an RTX 3080 or 3070 which are both PCIe Gen 4 to plug into the PCIe Gen 4 16 lane slot on the B550 MB.
I'm excited I can run a 3080 in my current Gen 3 slots yeah I will not have the NVMe to Video Card direct access, but no games are using that right now anyway

Oh. Yeah. I've been following this whole launch drama. Seems like the founders edition GPUs are the only one without this problem.

This launch has been very disaapointing. I'm still trying to decide on the 3080 (founders) or the 3070. That's if they're ever going to be available. I might have to just go for one of the new AMD Navi gpus that will be coming out.
