It wasn’t something I planned, but it seems fine when I see it. I’d have liked to go somewhere else.
You asked about the availability. It also appears visually appealing and works well with liquid cooling systems.
I’m a passionate ASUS enthusiast and was looking for the Asus ROG Strix Helios ATX Full Tower Case, possibly for an upcoming project.
I plan to wait until after the next major console release so we can potentially get more powerful CPUs, GPUs and SSDs at lower costs. In reality, it will mainly be due to widespread console use in millions that drives prices down. That’s why I suggested purchasing something better value now and reselling it later for a profit, and then everyone can enjoy high-end options when the time comes.
I can't help but think it's wise to hold off until the supply and demand situation calms down. Otherwise, we risk facing the same issues seen during the crypto mining rush or when major companies like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron engaged in price manipulation just a couple of years ago. I believe saving money is key until things improve. SSD adoption will pick up, CPUs and GPUs will become more affordable, and prices should drop. Perhaps by the end of this year or early 2021 we'll see progress. Of course, you might still manage to upgrade your current setup at a lower cost depending on your hardware.
Also noted, Thunderbolt 3 could be a factor when selecting an Intel CPU and motherboard. Even if you’re not making a purchase right now, keeping these points in mind helps justify choosing Intel and Nvidia over their AMD counterparts. Thunderbolt 3’s Quicksync feature allows fast file exports from Adobe Premiere Pro, especially when you’re confident the 9900K will perform optimally without GPU or resolution limits. For certain tasks leveraging AVX512 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_V...te_note-26), the latest Ryzen CPUs on Zen 2 offer better efficiency and performance compared to Intel’s offerings, particularly with PCIe 4.0 SSD support on compatible boards. The RTX 20 and 16 series models deliver strong NVENC encoding, though real-time ray tracing and DLSS 2.0 remain limited in many titles. As these technologies mature, we should expect more affordable and powerful alternatives from AMD and Nvidia to match or surpass current offerings.
