That’s a pretty responsible approach to these issues. In my daytime job, I also sell whole systems to business costumers because it obviously is the more wise choice when prioritizing system uptime and replacements. But I also still have a soft side for custom hardware builds in private use cases, which cannot be satisfied with prebuilds :). But I also migrated mostly to a Laptop recently (used XMG Fusion 15) for daily use and light/medium gaming. Big plus is the portability, works like a charm on LAN parties.

I have also built pcs with Gigabyte 3000 series GPUs for friends. I have secured them properly from GPU sag. I have my fingers crossed… But it does leave a certain unwellness behind. I myself have used a Palit RTX 2080ti for some time now, which runs perfectly fine, but there were VRAM problems with some model as well. As many things in hardware, almost nothing is without its faults, I guess :)
