So I've got my first build that I'm wanting to put together near the end of the month. I think I've got it all figured except for the video card. I'm hoping for an RTX 3070, as it'll be at the cap of my budget and should set me up well for quite some time. But with the massive availability issues, I don't have a lot of faith I'll be able to get one in the next few months. My question is, if I can't snag a 3070, what video card should I get for relatively cheap to hold me over until the 3070s are more readily obtainable? I'm hoping there's something that won't be too awful of a bottleneck for my system and will be pretty easily resellable to make my money back when it becomes possible to find a 3070. What country are you in? U.S., near a Micro Center What are you using the system for? Gaming, Photoshop/GIMP, some video editing. Might stream a bit or get back into light 3D modeling or level design. What's your budget? For the 3070, $500; for the temp card, much less. What is your monitor resolution/refresh rate? 3440x1440, 144Hz Here's the system. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 GAMING PRO CARBON WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory Storage: Western Digital Black 4 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Case: Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh White w/ Controller ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair RM (2019) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Monitor: AOC CU34G2X/BK 34.0" 3440x1440 144 Hz Monitor Custom: Silicon Power US70 M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 3D...

EVGA will then let you pay the difference between that card and the 3070 to upgrade to the 3070 when it's available. sean10mm: My main selling points for a monitor are, (mostly) in this order: resolution, refresh rate, response time, ultrawide, contrast, color. It's tough to hit those first few at the level I want (1440/100+Hz) for a <$500 price tag ($450 at Micro Center), save for a select few VA monitors. I know they have their weaknesses (mainly color and response time, right?), but this one should have 1ms MPRT at least. Don't quite know how the colors and contrast hold up. Do you have other suggestions around that price range that can hit 1440 and 100+Hz? Preferably in ultrawide?

), but are you SURE you want a VA panel monitor?
