Or even buy a decent prebuilt. Either scalp or buy overpriced

It's gotten out of hand. Glad I built mine back in 2015, wont be building a new one anytime soon. PC gaming is an insane investment nowadays.

Hopefully 3000 cards will be easy to get by the time Starfield and Elden Ring come out.

In a few months.

I think everyone panicked when the 3060 restock didn't last long and they bought out 2060s too.

I bought my 3800x, 5700XT, 32GB DDR4 and a new B550 motherboard in April or May and I'm so happy I pulled the trigger then. The market right now is absurd.

This is making me feel better about having bought a 2080 Super back in August due to my old graphics card failing. Here I thought I got screwed.

Prebuilt is fine, getting parts is nightmare. Scalpers aren't buying prebuilts.

Everything you bought in march isn't what is selling out and is probably cheaper now.

The markup for prebuilt right now is barely 100-200 bucks higher than doing it yourself. Not counting GPU, with the prebuilt at least you can get one

If you follow discord servers and stuff you can find a 30x series card. My friend just bought a 3070 off of Amazon. They DO stock regularly, you just have to be there when they drop.
