Typical after I buy my prebuilt PC, which I'm loving anyway so no biggie, there's news of card prices coming down and more availability :D

Yep. Got a 6700XT because it was the only GPU available at a "reasonable" price in Europe, and now there are 6800s available for only a few quid more...

refreshing wootware every day and the prices are getting lower

might have a 3070ti in my future.

strange how all the 3070's are more expensive that the 3070ti's on wootware

Probably because 3070s can still be used for mining while 3070tis have had their mining capability halved.

That's also a good board, yes. Grab whichever one you like bru. I haven't gone through all the specs but it seems to be similar.

Sorry another thing.. you think a 650watt would be fine or 750watt..?

especially if i one day upgrade GPU to something more powerful than the 6gb card i have

650w is fine, unless you start getting a much bigger cpu
 
Paid about £560 for my 3070, wasn't too bad but it was a choose your own parts prebuilt so I ended up paying about 150 for labor and shipping, so add that to the card price I guess

650W is fine, the rtx3090 has a 350W tdp, gpu manufacturers always spec the required psu way above what is required to cover their asses.

You say you have a 6gb gpu which means a gtx1060 for which a 450W psu would be plenty.

When I got a R9 290 (275W TDP), my 650W PSU would reboot my PC every time I launched a game.
This was on a stock i7 2600K.

I wouldn't take a chance on a 650W PSU if you plan on upgrading to a 3080 or better.

That was your PSU, no mention of make/model/age.

Any decent 650W PSU should handle that load without breaking a sweat.
 
Might be one of those that quoted 650W across all rails instead of 650W on the 12V...that used to happen back in the day (might still do but I haven't heard of it in a long time).

That must've been some dodgy chinese branded PSU there.
