Nope, not now, and while prices are going down, they aren't down to MSRP yet. Idk about a founder edition, but if u are constantly looking and can beat some bots you maybe be able to score a more basic 3080 for under $800 if you are vigilant

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

My past and current projects: VR Flight Sim: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/nathanpete/saved/#view=dG38Jx (Done!)

A do it all server for educational use: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/nathanpete/saved/#view=vmmNcf (Cancelled)

If you are in the US, FE's have only been available through Best Buy for at least a year now. If you wanted any chance at getting one, you would have been in a stock discord and jumping on alerts ASAP, there is no other way.

 

Walking into a store and hoping they have FE's sitting on a shelf just was never the reality.

 

That being said, i'd be surprised if we saw 3080FE back in stock again. Last sighting was Feb 11th.

Of course, all I had to say was we probably won't see it again and they go in stock at Best Buy today. Figures.

 

Ya'll jumped on your discord alerts and snagged one, right? 🙃
