If you can get any decent card right now for MSRP, do it.

 

I got a 1060 last month for under MSRP.*

 

*Okay, that was misleading...I bought a 1050 TI at MSRP on Black Friday, sold it for much more, then used the profit on the 1060. :D

The 1060 was priced at $285 and I sold my 1050TI for $253. I paid $135 for the 1050TI before prices exploded through the roof. I set the eBay auction for under $100, then some eBayers got into a bidding war for the thing. **shrug**

 

In the end I basically got a 1060 for $180, under MSRP. :) It may be an incremental upgrade, but my games do play perceptibly better, so it was worth it to me.
