Keep refreshing and pray. Anything that stays in stock for more than 15 minutes is such an awful deal you shouldn't bother.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1650 GDDR6 is about as low as you can go before I would say you should just use integrated graphics inside new CPUs (say Vega 7 in Ryzen 5xxxG or UHD 770 in Intel 12th gen CPUs). That said it's also not fast, GTX 1060 6GB is still faster and that was the gaming standard for a very long time

The GPU itself is good, but not really for that price, you really are just better off trying to either way, or get lucky with a stock drop discord. I understand that Amazon maybe your only choice, but its currently not the greatest choice at the moment.

Nah, 1050ti is slightly slower than the 1650 GDDR6. Honestly you wouldnt find better prices on GPUs, the market is so cleaned up that any slightly better deals will be gobbled up quickly

Should I look for GPUs around next year because the market will be cheaper

I'm not confident to say prices will look better. Just skipping the new year buying season would be enough

I mean it's hard to believe things can get any worse. I would wait if you can. As people have said, anything that is a good deal won't be in stock long enough to tell you about it. It's more of a luck and timing thing at the moment. You could join stockdrops discord and wait for a drop.

 

As for someone else's recommendation of using Igpu, intel 12th gen integrated is still literally half the performance of ryzen 5700g internal graphics. So if you go Igpu route, avoid intel.

That would be better if you can hold off.

Personally I'd spend $150-$200 on a used gtx 960, 970, 1050, etc and just watch for a chance to get a 3060 or better at retail.  Put your name in EVGA's waiting list, etc.  It took me about 4 months of waiting to get my 3060 12gb card.  Then sell the old card.

 

I just saw a couple clean 960s on ebay for around $140-$150.

eBay's buyer protections are ironclad, almost too good in fact to the point legit sellers get screwed on buyers' whims. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.
