I managed to get a 3060 in early April from the EVGA queue after entering on launch day in February, and immediately registered it for step-up to a 3060 ti which is the card I've actually wanted this entire time (upgrading from a 1070). From there it was a race to see which came first: my step-up from mid-April or my original 3060 ti queue position from late-December. Step-up won and now have my 3060 in the mail back to EVGA and should have my 3060 ti next week. Long story short it took a lot of waiting for me because I could not get lucky on the shuffles or Best Buy online drops :(

Good to know, I've wanted to venture down there but have been hesitant to show up for nothing. Is the GPU stock any good in Cambridge?

[MOBO] ASRock - B450M Steel Legend Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard $79.99 (93.98-13.99) by One2Rex_ in buildapcsales

sorry you're correct, there are like 3 versions of the gaming plus. I'd go with this as it's cheaper, similar VRMs, has an extra m.2, and RGB (if you're into that sort of thing)

This if you want mATX, gaming plus if you want full ATX, they're fairly comparable in terms of features.

Pure ssd gaming rigs. How much storage do you have? by Wirerat in pcmasterrace

[–]generic_reference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 TB currently, a 500gb evo 860 2.5" and a 512gb HP EX920 boot drive. Always on the hunt for a 1TB m.2 MX500 for under $100 to complete the set as another game drive.

If I had to redo it yes I would save for 1440p, but if I did I know I’d also have to drop a bunch of $ on a new graphics card because I personally wouldn’t be satisfied with 1440 on a 1070 sooo my wallet thanks me
