It's about to get worst. Better grab a vid card now or wait until the end of the year:beli:

just bought a dell xps 8940 for 590 off slickdeals with a I5 and 1660TI and called it a day.

My old rig was parted out and sold

2600 ryzen 5 for 130
570 for 365
16 gig ddr4 for 65
case for 35

I got back what I built it for new thanks to the gpu markups

I mean if people were paying attention, best buy had video card drops today for great prices. Also, Microcenter had tons of 3060tis and 3080s when I went last week. Unless you want to pay scalper prices, put forth a lot of effort in a getting a card or just build a PC next year:yeshrug:

Microcenter isn't in like 60% of the USA

And alot of cats don't want to deal with best buy and setting alerts...

But I feel you. Easy come up if you can scour sites like that.

I don't game much so it doesn't matter.

My response was more towards your comment about feeling sorry for brehs buying video cards right now. Shouldn't feel sorry for them, they have options and they don't need to get a video card. If they need to build now they can just an Intel processor with integrated graphics and wait until prices normalize.
