Man, PC components have gotten expensive! New pc build.

I built my last PC in 2017 so it's time to upgrade. Currently have a i7-7700k/GTX 1080 build and it's struggling to run DCS in 1440p on my new 49" ultrawide. So, I decided it was time for a new build. I started thinking I would just upgrade the cpu, gpu and motherboard and then just decided to start a brand new build. I had no idea how hard it is to find a GPU at MSRP right now.
Also surprised to see how much more expensive they are. I paid less than $600 for the 1080 back in 2017 and the 4080 was almost $1,300!

I can't wait to see how DCS performs with this build.
