Really went for optimizing dollar value in my first build in over a decade! After some local trading (and luckily living near a Micro Center), managed to barter my way into a Founders Edition 3060 Ti for MSRP (a small miracle in and of itself) -- along with some amazing sales from Black Friday, as well as $80 back from Rakuten's cash back referrals, managed to keep the price of build just under $1k.
