I made a few tweaks. Went to the TUF mobo to save $, dropped the OS to get a clean install and save $, went with the unspecified 3070 option because I read that they're shipping weeks faster than orders that selected a specific model.
I grabbed the keyboard, because I figured I can risk $9 on the possibility that it's a POS.
Overall I'm happy that I got it under $1700 because that's what I told my wife I expected to be spending <45>
I'll provide an update when i get it an eternity from now
Well, be prepared to wittle some wood. Because around the world it's getting worse. It's not getting better.
Nvidia RTX 30-Series GPU Availability to Worsen in Q1: Report
Do you by chance have Fast Startup disabled?Just a quick question that hopefully someone can help me out with. I have a new build (i5 10600k, RTX 3070, 700 watt PSU, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVME and 2TB HDD). Thing is, occasionally when I turn it on it takes over a minute to boot up. This is generally when it's been off for a while. After a slow boot, I can turn it off and on again and it boots as it should. Any ideas on why this might be occurring? Thanks.

Check the task manager -> see what programs are starting up. Disabling some of the nonsense programs could quicken up the start up time.Just a quick question that hopefully someone can help me out with.

I've tried it both enabled and disabled.
Usually a black screen, with the Asrock logo alternating with a spinning circle. Sometimes it just stays black.What part does it hang on? The black screen, the windows logo, after you log in, etc?
Already done that. I think I have it down to 3 programs starting during boot up.Check the task manager -> see what programs are starting up. Disabling some of the nonsense programs could quicken up the start up time.
Also you should be able to see the BIOS start up time there.
How long is 'long'I've tried it both enabled and disabled.

As I said, it doesn't happen every time I boot. Generally just after it being off for a while. Like first thing in the morning or after work.
Problem for me I don't have a local MicroCenter the nearest one to me is like 2 to 2 1/2 hours.my local MC had tons of these today. like 10 different types, most with "25+" as of ~11am or so when i noticed.

Got an email on Feb. 18th stating that assembly and testing were complete and it was sent over to shipping. I still haven't received notice that it shipped so I sent them an email today. They said shipping is backed up and blamed it on FedEx delays. They said I'll get priority because I complained. They said hopefully it gets shipped tomorrow and almost certainly by the end of the week.Update: got an email stating that they've gathered all the components and assembly will begin on my rig. If this is true, my total wait time may end up being less than 6 weeks.
Congrats.Finally pulled the Trigger:
