I found someone here with an identical problem with an X470. Really strange.https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/new-build-wont-boot-with-vega-64-but-boots-fine-with-older-gtx-960.3423343/ It probably sounds a bit reactionary but I only ever get these headaches with AMD chipsets, and the guy above is obviously AMD as well. I had other issues with my last Ryzen 3600/B450M build that were a pain as well to get sorted (though they did get sorted). I genuinely find that while AMD is way better value, not just in terms of price but also feature set wise, Intel tends to just work more headache free in general, notwithstanding actual hardware faults obviously.

Caseking and Overclockers have the same parent company and to be honest, have been some of the worst Globally for price gouging. So the next time I see either whining about getting no cards, I'll take it with a grain of salt. Also, if AMD stock is the same, then it effectively means the same thing. Nvidia and AMD don't exist in isolation of each other.

Maybe its the launch of the 3070/80 Ti's but looking at Caseking again this week and they have 11 models of 3070's in stock between 1000 and 1300 instead of the 1100 and 1500 they were looking for a week ago. Still way way overpriced but going in the right direction?

Maybe they are trying to move the 3070's into a lower tier of being too overpriced but they don't know what they supply is going to be like for both models in the short to medium term 3070 Ti for 1026.35 (DE VAT)https://www.caseking.de/en/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-amp-holo-lhr-8192-mb-gddr6x-gczt-184.html 3070 for 1063.74 (DE VAT)https://www.caseking.de/en/inno3d-geforce-rtx-3070-ichill-x4-lhr-8192-mb-gddr6-gci3-197.html

Yet, they know there are people who've been waiting without a GPU and they'll try to fleece us for all they can. That said, I'm still of the idea that the MSRP at launch back in September were little more than an headline grabbing exercise - sure, some people managed to get cards at prices close to them, but even OEMs soon started rising the prices. What they released the Ti cards at are more realistic prices in my view.

It's no harm going for the higher wattage to be honest considering the way things look to be going power consumption wise and leaves headroom for future upgrades. Especially when you're looking at PSUs that come with long term warranties, the seasonic has a 10 year warranty
