Seems like a pretty good 3070 build. Out of my budget though
GPU is $1399-$1799 by itself

Intel Core i9-9900KF
16GB DDR4 3200MHZ (Corsair, GSkill or HyperX)

@Clear: Extremely niche use case, no variant of this PC even with an 11th gen Intel platform would be good enough for you then.
And future-proofing is not possible on either AMD or Intel platform at the moment as both companies have indicated that their AM4/LGA1200 sockets are EOL after this generation. Future-proofing is a pretty foolish thing to aim for with a PC anyway. Buy the best value components you can get at the time (in 2004 for example, this meant buying a socket 478 Pentium 4 and not an LGA775 one).
@xyron: Indeed very niche case. You can never absolutely future proof but if you go for the current generation you can typically save yourself a few years if you don't intend on upgrading for another 5 or so years.
I had thought AMD were using the same socket for the next generation. Perhaps I was thinking of the 3000 series using the same socket of the 5000 series.
What's the turnaround time for these machines? reading last deal appears to be almost a month?
Hi Bearboi,
The reason the Bifrost v1 take a month because we waited 3 weeks for the GPU stocks to arrive.
We expect to finish all builds within 2 weeks.

Tried to buy one but had issues with their website not loading…. oh well
Price just went up to $2499
They did say it'd only be until 6pm today
Is 600W really okay for this build?
Yeah I’m going to see if they can change the build at all.
It'll be fine as long as it's a decent quality PSU.
Which is should be, states EVGA gold efficiency. Solid choice
a quality 600w is more than enough for a 3070 and even a 9900KS with a reasonable overclock.
No? Still says OC
Received today. The gpu is not the restricted version.
hi, may i ask what brand of the rtx 3070 you received. thanks alot
@xyron: Future proofing for sure. I also work with large SQL databases, VMs etc. so having enough cores and squeezing enough power out of them is essential.
