*Update*

I have been running nicehash for the past 24hrs or so on and off, seem to avg between 6.8 and 7.1 Mh/s.  Laptop GPU ranges from 51-56c, cooler at night.

When I check my nicehash wallet address 13g6GFPSq3FFQ1SjTD2T9Aov9PPnPnWjs3 it shows my stats, but when I log on to my account on their site, it shows 0 balance and 0 workers... is this because I need to use their wallet address?  What is the difference going one way vs thru my registerd account with them/wallet?

Also, I was targetting picking up a new desktop or building one myself in the next week or two, hoping to get a 3060 or 3060ti, or if a rx5700 came available cheap by some miracle.  Now I read that the 3060's are going to get their hashing value reduced bigtime as per a news release from nvidia today? 

I notice nothing is available for sale on the major websites newegg bestbuy etc, should I look into a prebuilt instead?

Thought I found a prebuilt alienware with a 5700 for 1699 cad, and ther are some prebuilt copms with 3060tis for around 1700-1900 cad before taxes... Any tips on buying a desktop or building my own over the next 2 weeks?

Being that I am goingto likely run this rig hard and game on it hard for the next 2-3 years, I am hoping to get mostly quality parts with at least 1yr warranties from reputable companies... but willing to wiggle if the prices are right.
