What are the days that digital storm techs build.

Banks dont process payments on weekends. Will probably process monday

Welcome to the forums! Let us know what you've ordered. We all like to see what systems others prefer.

Now, if you look across these forums you will see that there have been orders without the Stage 1 notification for over a week. Even though DS still hits their target of shipping within 20-25 business days.

I wouldn't look for immediate movement on the processing.

I wouldn’t get in a rush. My order processed and sat at stage 1 for 19 business days. You will find that a lot of people would rather wait for an awesome product than a rushed product.

Absolutely

I also had to use bread, neat build though!
I could only get something under 1000$ so I got the 1000$ lynx. It is a way better upgrade than this piece of crap I use right now.

I didn't think the Lynx was customizable?

I can't say just how it would work, but it seems to me if you switched to another build (like from the custom set up which you are building into a Lynx case, to a Lynx level 4), your original order would be cancelled, and you'd be back to square one with Bread. If not, I found Bread to be very nice to work with, so you could work out a modified deal with them pretty easily.

My concerns are not for the lack of "top shelf" parts. The pre-built Lynxes have a few of those, and it's fine. Simple fact is, you are ending up paying a bit more than you need to for a lesser system than you could have with a little creative planning.

Here's my "plot".... get the Lynx level 4. It has a terrific CPU which is great for gaming and all-around computing as long as you're not trying to redesign a human genome or something. You'll get a 750W power supply which will allow you the option for a top GPU down the road. It will come with the great RTX 2070 GPU which will give you terrific performance in those sims for years to come, and allow a monitor upgrade with no worries whenever you want. That's $1999.

Drawback is, you can't have 32 GB of RAM installed, and you get a 500GB SSd instead of 1TB. Your CPU isn't the top-ender you wanted, but you don't need that much. Here's the thing. You've got $398 to work with, and two of the easiest DYI upgrades there are. My guess is, you might get such great performance out of the 2070, there's not much use for another 16GB of RAM. On your own, you could get a much faster NVMe M.2 SSD to help load your sims faster than the 860 EVO could do. A Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVMe is $150. Many times faster than a SATA SSD of any flavor.

Now I realize the prospect of rummaging around inside a computer might give you sweats, so this option might not be for you, but I had to bring it up. Fact is, those installs are so simple, you could probably get someone local to do it for you for cheap, and you'd end up with so much more power where you want it most.
