So I'm highly thinking about just buying a prebuilt PC so I can get my hands on a RTX 3080 or 3090. I am in the process of making a VN and this 1070 just isn't cutting it for render times. Any thoughts?

Try and ask this question on reddit. They have some subs dedicated for computer hardware with some skilled and friendly people to help you out.
Don't buy prebuilt rigs. Most have 1 really good component, 2 so-so ones, and the rest are usually trash because people who purchase these things aren't computer savvy so the manufacturer/seller stacks the computer with crappy hardware. You also have to be cognizant of component warranty if you're going to do a lot of rendering, and prebuilt computers are notorious for having short warranty times for some if not most of their parts.
Try to build your own rig, even if you have to order the parts and wait a few weeks. It'll save you a ton of headaches down the line.

I bought a prebuilt and then sold the 3080 in it for a lot. Replaced it with a cheaper model and it paid for most of the machine.
buying a gimped prebuilt to get a 3090 sounds like a very expensive compromise.
I'd rather make use of the rendering time by writing more. then get a proper set up when the 3090 drought some day finally ends.

That's about the conclusion I've came to as well but the only thing that sucks it this drought is unlikely to end anytime soon from what I've been reading.
