i need a little bit of help

[Andy_Sendra]

i was planning on a build about a month ago and then built it but then the graphics cards are all out of stock and i really wanted a specific model for this build to match it. i was planning on purchasing the asus 1060 strix for 320 dollars but now its at 429!!! can anyone help me find any reliable seller to buy one for the normal price

[That_PC_Kid]

Nobody is selling them for MSRP. Even the used ones have super inflated prices.

[Max_Settings]

Currently no, you will have to wait a bit. And why were you paying $320 before for a 1060? That was overpriced too. It should be around $250

use nowinstock and turn on alarms and hope u can get one

I haven't looked but i dont think that will be possible for a while still. mining is still a big deal so you might have to wait

[Max_Settings]

This is the only one in stock that is not crazy overpriced, but still a bit high

i know but i kind of delt with it since the prices where already going up but what other advice can you guys give me

[rn8686]

Do you need that specific model? I can see other models going for a little over $300 (At least on Newegg).

Wait, or if you are going to spend that much on a 1060, just get a 1070

Like I said if you can live with the MSI model this one is an ok price $280

its not in stock and what they have been doing is shoving the price up when they come in stock

Only $30 over MSRP not bad. You won't find any others that cheap

Same scenario with me.... wanted a 1070 but was hyper inflated. The inner self said f*** it and get a 1080 at the exact same price point as the indlated 1070 and days later i sold n repurchased/exchanged for a 1080ti cos of a better deal at almost virtually same price point (which u cant find now) 2-3 weeks ago.

 

id say wait a bit longer if u can live with a slight compromise imo 1060/1070 prices aint worth it until they fall closer to msrp prices

are inflated 1060s selling cause that would be a great way to do it

If u hv one u might as well sell it while the price is high u might get some extra money . But then i will leave it up to u since its ur investment. I personally got turned off by 1060 n 1070 cos miners ruined it and that made the1080/ti seem more attractive to me as of current

 

for me personally i sold the 1080 cos i made 150aud more than i bought it for which helps offset a 1080ti purchase (amazon uk did them approx 555£ excl vat which is dirty cheap and a great value

Right on the nail. Canadians are the worst when it comes to lowering prices for things.

[xsimplyjosh]

Afaik canada n australia has absurd gsts which make it hard for consumers to buy direct off retail here sometimes (heck motherboards like maximus code ix z270 on amazon usa are at least 100au cheaper which is a lot of money for the same thing)
