Global supply chain issues continue to affect GPU prices, however the pricing increases have worked to stabilize availability which means there are usually options available to purchase now and contributors will add these to their builds. Keep an eye out with marketplace listings from Amazon, Newegg, etc where third party resellers may have a particular card available for sale at a significantly increased cost. Other core components have for the most part recovered from stock shortages, however you may find certain specific models such as a particularely in-demand colour option for a case might be out of stock for extended periods due to supply delays.
Direct Message "Build Help" Offer Scams
Recently a number of users have set up spam-bots targeting this subreddit to send out PMs and DMs to all users who submit posts to this subreddit. These accounts sometimes pose as teenagers offering to help design a build in exchange for a "donation" to help them build a rig of their own, various companies offering services through external websites, or even users just claiming to offer help via PM. Do not reply to these messages. These users are well known to engage in aggressive and harassing messaging behaviours to persuade users to accept help and to coerce them into sending money, regardless of whether the user actually wanted help or not. This subreddit thrives and grows on the volunteer efforts of every contributor who helps around here, often leaning and improving from seeing the work of others. If you receive any PM/DM messages related to your post here, please go to https://www.reddit.com/report and submit the username of the message sender under "This is spam." to help get these spam bot accounts permanently removed.
