Here is the situation, I was trying to build a CPU + GPU based rendering workstation based around Ryzen 5950X + 1/2 x RTX3080s. Can't get hold of any RTX cards!
So I thought to get at least the CPU based rendering side going for now. Well as you know, 5950X is missing in action too!
Now I have been reading articles that say CPU/GPU might be hard to come by even deep into 2022???? I am thinking should I go with CPUs that are currently available before they disappear too? CPUs that I can get right now in Europe and their prices are listed below. What would you do?
