Do you live close to a microcenter or best buy? If so join their unofficial discord and keep an eye on them to see when things will drop. I got a 5909x and a 3080 plus everything for a full build a my local microcentrr over a week period. They got in probably 150-200 30xx gpus and 100-125 5600-5950x cpus.

 

There is also Newegg new lottery system.

With newegg when they have inventory come in you can go signup to buy it. Then after 4-6 hours they do a drawing basically to randomly select those that will get their GPU/CPU. It was done to help against bots and give everyone a "more fair" chance according to them.
