Just finished my new rig (old one was 6 years old and showing its age) with a bunch of EVGA parts and a $2500 budget. I had never used EVGA parts before in previous builds, but they're working great so far. Backstory: After many months searching for an NVIDIA RTX 3080 Founders Edition and completely giving up winning against Best Buy bots, I finally decided to look elsewhere. As it turns out, I got extremely lucky because I found an AntOnline bundle with an EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra, EVGA CLC 280 liquid cooler, 850 GA PSU (lots of scary forum posts about this PSU, but I have no issues with it), and a keyboard/mouse in stock at 2 AM. I paid around $260 over retail for the full bundle of parts which was way better than paying a scalper double retail, and got $60 or so back by reselling the keyboard/mouse - so it wasn't the worst deal in the world. It also immediately went out of stock after I checked out, so I must have gotten it just in time.

Here are the parts I ended up using which put me just under my budget:

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (Purchased For $215.99) -- I ended up getting 64 GB of RAM because I do a lot of software development and use around 31-32GB RAM in some workloads which was maxing out my old system.
