1080p60 cards would be something like the 4060 (or XX60) cards. If you're concerned about power consumption then be wary about the 30xx cards like the 3060 since they're power hogs in comparison to the 4060.
The current catch with GPUs however is their gimped VRAM and cost despite VRAM.

8GB VRAM is perfectly fine for a mix of high and medium settings @1080p. 12GB VRAM even more so.
If you want to start heading into more demanding games and higher resolutions you're looking at a card upgrade or lower graphics options. A 4060 is a pretty economical choice I'd say. It's just not something that'll last unless you stay away from big releases.

This is what I'm planning on grabbing along with a 7800X3D to upgrade from my 12900k/DDR4, assuming I don't spot any better BF deals is there anything crazy objectionable here?
I'll be keeping the same PSU/Case/GPU, I've already got 2 NVME drives but one's only 500gb so I'll just drop it if there's any lane fuckery issues.

>Workstation/high end: consider 2x48GB
I've currently got 64, it keeps Solidworks happy and is more than enough for my local models, any specific reason to go up to 96?

>Not getting an X870E Nova
ASRock no longer has an Australian distributor for some reason so it's expensive as fuck and has no after sales support.

Odd choice for a production rig. It's an odd choice, too, for a high-end gaming rig now the 9800X3D is out.

Doubly so when you already have a 12900K. Sure it's not the fastest thing around any more but it's still a strong performer. Faster in multicore than the R7, even.

Even still I'm having a hard time seeing the need to upgrade. Do you play a bunch of cache "superscalers" like Factorio?

I want to buy a stupid expensive flagship OLED monitor and its own sale for as cheap as it has ever been. Earlier this week it was $100 off for an Early Black Friday sale and I called the store and they said that would be the best price but now it's another $100 lower. So I'm wondering if I should wait for real Black Friday. Do you think there will be even better prices next week or should I pull the trigger now? This is the lowest the monitor has ever been anywhere in my country (1300 USD on sale for $1,100 USD)

Yeah, plus WoW, BG3 etc.
Plus I'll be going from a 4090 to a 5090 when it launches early next year, and I figure now's a good time as any to go to DDR5.
I'm fully aware that in most games at 4k I'm not going to see any meaningful uplift, though the improved 1% lows will be nice to reduce OLED VRR flicker

I hate the current Megazord style of the giant cases and the RGB stuff
The only piece of RGB I had was built into the fan on my old air cooler heatsink, now that's gone there's nothing RGB
With no CPU cooler inside there's now a decent amount of space in my mid size case

I've got a big panel of clear acrylic plastic and I'm going to cut it into a new side panel to replace the glass, with a hole cut out for the cooler tubes and some new vent holes. I'm also making a new top panel to replace the gauze that was there, which will seal away the interior from the cooler fan airflow

Why does getting a new monitor have to be such a pain in the ass? Got a new pc like 4 months ago without upgrading my decade old monitor and ive been pushing buying a new one away all the time because i just cant pull the trigger. Whenever I feel like one is decent i read reviews about dead pixels, bad backlight bleeding and other shit that scares me away. Also the fact that idk anything about calibrating it and getting the right settings with hdr or not, color modes etc when it will arrive already drives me nuts. I just wanna plug it in and use it for fucking 5+ years without any issues is that too much to ask. And like I said ive been pushing it away for months but now is the stupid black friday shit and theres a lot of price reductions so i feel pressured to make a decision today.

hey pcbg, wanted your opinions on this. i have the antec flux pro and a 420mm lf3 and i wanted to mount it on the front with tubes down, but saw that there is no space, so instead of mounting it with tubes up i decided to put it on top. the configuration that i think is best is pic related, with the rad fans in pull config and case fans in front and rear as exhaust; the gpu has its on intake on the bottom.
cant do any tests because im still missing the cpu from the build, but do you think putting the rad in front or configuring the top rad fans as exhaust instead of pull might be better?

At launch people were saying the 7900xtx was slower or on par than the 4080 on raster. Today after 5 minutes in AMD software you're better than a 4090 D and almost to a real 4090.

I was hoping the 4070 super would drop to £500 or below for black friday but so far the lowest price is the same as it was for prime day (£509)

Depends on the game, there aren't many with good enough HDR implementations and AutoHDR/RTX HDR are kinda shit.
Cyberpunk with HDR on OLED monitors is a super impressive experience.

Only thing to know is that HDR is generally mastered for dark rooms. You lose the effect with current display brightness capabilities in brighter environments.

>can simply turn it off and it will be SDR right

>HDR is not good (even a fake version
you're probably looking at a traditional IPS/VA display without MiniLED. these usually aren't able to display HDR properly, they can only interpret the HDR data being passthrough to them.
true HDR requires high brightness granularity (at least up to 1000nits) and extended color gamut. the latter can be found on any display, but brightness control is still iffy outside of OLED monitors.
