While building my hitting platform I plugged a circular saw into the same circuit as my PC. Now all the magic smoke has come out of the computer and I get to build a new one. Plus get a better UPS.

I have the parts for the replacement PC, time to get building. It still feels wrong to be doing an Intel gaming rig but it is what it is (Uneekor QED says it needs an Intel CPU).

Question... I have never owned a gaming pc but will need one for my sim. Are the GTX 3000 series cards light years ahead of the 2000 series?
Is it graphics, speed or both?
And what is more interesting is that AMD has just released their lineup and they are under cutting NVidia on price and promising on par or greater performance. And to add insult to injury, they are looking to deliver on their supply requirements which NVidia has not been able to do. They just acquired a company that produces semi-conductors. I would definitely be worried if I was NVidia right now.
