help to find a gpu

[xven]

So one of my best friends lost everything in a house fire and i am trying to help him get a gaming setup back and runnig. We managed to get him a full setup minus the last two pieces getting him his new chair ( found a herman miller mira 2 for 500$ online ) and a stupid gpu...

 

So we are trying to get him a 3070 or a 3080. When i say we i am saying the dozen people working on getting him back and going. We are willing to pay msrp to 200$ over msrp for a gpu but not a 200%+ because the market is broken.

 

Does anyone have any tips to find a gpu for a normal price? He is getting a kick ass pc and i even made him a full set of good keyboard and mouse. ( gmmk compact with kail silver lube and lubed stabs, glorious model 0 wireless )

Look at getting an RX 580 as a hold over, they haven't suffered too badly during the silicon shortage. Yea, a 580 is definitely no 3070, but it's not a bad card either.

I might aswell try to give him my 2060 and hunt for something else for me.

I suppose that would work too, if you don't need the power.

i can live without it for now.... until i find a 3070 for 850 to 900 tops
