Keeping my PC in a cold room.

With winter coming I've been wondering how safe keeping my PC (Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5080) in my garden office room is. Its got no heating (apart from some portable space heaters) and drops to below freezing temps overnight in the winter months. Basically just want to know if its gonna mess my PC up.

I need a cheap GPU to fill in for my 4070 Ti Super while I work on getting its issues sorted out.

Hey all- my 4070 is super on the fritz right now, I've been working with ASUS to get it serviced and I'm hoping something real will happen soon, but in the meantime my 1660 isn't quite hitting how I need it to.


Is anybody aware of a suitable fill-in in the meantime? Obviously I won't get anything close to my 4070, but I'm hoping there will be something at least somewhat easily obtainable that can do a better job than my poor 1660, I don't want to downscale my 1440p monitor but I'm willing to compromise on graphics for stability and frames.

Is there any hope for RAM prices?

I want to build my first PC, but RAM prices are currently eight times higher than normal. I don't think it makes sense to build a system with DDR4 either. When can we expect RAM prices to cool down?
