Is this a good deal? 500$ rtx 3060 Ventus 3x

[OldFord76]

So i entered the Newegg Shuffle tody for a Ventus RTX 3060 3-fan from MSI. The price is listed at $509 USD, is that a good price? I was wondering if i should wait until they have a less expensive 2-fan or not. 

 

Also i desperately need a new GPU, im currently running the integrated graphics on an Athlon 300g lol. 

 

Thanks!

its about 100 over what it should cost in dollars i assume, but still not bad given the situation

assuming you are not going to pair a 3060 with that 3000g athlon, do you?

500$ is way better than most scalpers charge for a 3060

Not for long, no. Although I currently only have about $600 (because im 15 lol) I plan to save up more for a better CPU, maybe a Ryzen 5 or something.

sounds like a plan! slow and steady

just asked because the athlon will severely bottleneck your system, but as you are aware there's nothing to worry about

Yes, Im very aware of that lol. 2 cores and 4 threads at 3ghz is a real bottleneck, not to mention my single-channel 8gb ram haha
