Upgrading PowerSpec G470 to 3090 RTX
I bought a PowerSpec G470 last year and so far it's working great. However, the applications I'm using require more VRAM than my current 3080Ti can provide. Are the expansion slots in the G470 big enough to house a 3090 RTX, and will the current power supply support the upgrade card?

Cable Management
I wonder why PowerSpec didn't feed the GPU power cables straight down through the case PSU shroud slot? It would have had much cleaner cable management. It technically wouldn't have blocked the fan's airflow. One of these days I might re-route it. I mean it doesn't look too bad now, but...

What are the marked down red prices on the website for?
I saw a GPU for $325 on your website. Originally $350 but on your site it was marked down in red and said $325. Seems most products are marked down. But when i went in the store to purchase the GPU it was still $350. So what is the mark down price for on the website if it isn't' actually marked down in the store?

Should I upgrade from the Ryzen 7 3700X to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D?
Apologies if I'm doing this wrong. Don't think I've ever utilized this community stuff. Wasn't sure what category to select. In addition to the Ryzen 7 3700X, I have 32GB of RAM and now an RTX 4080 up from an RTX 3070. I also swapped out my 850W PSU for a 1000W one. Is my Ryzen 7 3700X essentially bottlenecking my 4080?
