I was trying to finish my first build at microcenter, picked up a ryzen 5 3600, but was told that they didn't have any gpus in my price range (<300). I saw a Zotac Gaming Twin Fan on B&H for 290 USD, 300 with tax, I know that this is not a good price but I'm also wondering if this is one of the only chances I'll get to buy a gpu with the current stock shortages, any suggestions on what to do?

Its not thattttt bad of a price, the card is worth like 230 - 250 and if you do need a card urgently then sure go for it.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

I wouldn't as 3000 series cards are coming into this price point and you used to be able to get a 1660super for 240$

3060

Rumored 3050
