GPU Upgrade?

[GrizzlyTank]

I have been hunting a 3060 TI, 3070, or 3080 for the last TWO MONTHS and they are all immediately sold out by bots the second they come in stock. It's gotten so bad I'm about ready to commission a whole ass new PC from one of the builders like Microcenter, then pull the GPU out. (I'm getting a custom in-desk watercooled PC....)

Yup the GPUs get sold out instantly atm, even the 3060 (which i was fortunate/unfortunate to get since it's 2/3 of the strength of a 3060 ti for the same cost...) sold out in less than 10 min from my local stores. And that is with the vendor prices being 100%-200% higher than the recommanded price from nvidia and amd.

Also in regards to 4k. I fail to see a reason to aim for that resolution yet if you want to max out fps. 1080p is mostly fine, and a lot of GUIs are still lagging behind causing texts to either be miniscule or blurry (if upscaled).

Luckily other components didn't seem that badly priced, other than the newest i7-9 11 something cpu's being worse than the 10-series.
