I was lucky enough to score a ryzen 5600x after they appeared for about a minute or so on Amazon a few days ago...lol

5600x will do for now...

Building a new rig.

Video card prices and supply are insane.

The card I want lists for $699. I guess I'll play the game a few more weeks until my CPU arrives.

I'm not paying more than the retail price...don't worry... I will not be feeding the scalpers.

Coincidentally, I just finished my new build. My previous box was 7 years old, and it was showing signs of age. I got started researching components near the end of September, and shopped Newegg and Amazon the middle of last month. I knew about the new cards coming out, but I also knew that they would be in short supply until Q1 next year. Good thing I started buying when I did; my old box died and - as you discovered - the older cards are in short supply as well. I managed to score a ASRock 5700xt Taichi before they were gone, so I am definitely happy I decided to get moving on my new rig when I did. Good luck with yours PA.

After weeks of absolute and slavish devotion, I managed to snag a 3080 off of Amazon...beating the bots at their own game.

Now I just have to wait a couple of weeks for it to show up...

I am shocked that you managed to beat out the scalpers' bots. I'm a little jealous, but those cards were out of my price range anyway. Good luck with it!
