3060 or wait? Help :D

[CriSis_]

Hi, 

I've been looking to build a pc for one hell of a long time and now unfortunately have a deadline due to some projects in September requiring a powerful pc. I was originally buying a 3070 or a 3080 (max price £720) to go along side a 5900x but with the gpu shortage I am wondering if I should buy 3060 (assuming i can get hold of one) and then re sell it when the 3070/3080 come back in stock? 

 

I know everybody most likely has the same info I have, however if anybody has seen anything like this with previous generations of gpus, did stock become slightly more available towards the start of its replacement generation? 

 

Thanks for the help,

Stay safe, 

Lex

given that you can't wait for gpu prices to come down i think your only option is to sign up with evga's queue program for 3 different cards, a 3060 a 3070 and a 3080 and buy whichever one becomes available first
