If you don't already have any Xbox Game Pass subscription, you can save some money converting a Xbox Live Gold subscription over to Game Pass Ultimate. Scroll down to "The best Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deal around" section on this site:

The chip shortage is definitely a pain in the ass, I bought a new system with a 2070 Super over a year ago for $1100, and somehow it's worth about the same still.
I've managed to get a PS5 and Xbox Series X (for a friend) in the last week and have seen the RTX cards more easily available, so hopefully we're turning a corner.

I was hoping to see some in the prime Day Deals on Amazon...they have a lot of PC Components & Parts; basically everything one would need for a PC Build...EXCEPT...Video Cards....looking around I can pick up a Case, MB, PS, CPU, SSD for even or less than the Video Card alone...that's just sad....guess to continue to try PS5 and watch Cyberpower Deals and read PC gaming hardware stuff in hopes demand will go down. I did look at Ebay...yep, alot of Retail RTX 3070, 3080, 3090 and RX6000 series up for sale. I hope they along with those who bought the PS5 and XB Series X are stuck with them...

I'm sure Amazon will have graphic cards in stock for maybe the same amount of time they'll have the PS5 or Series X in stock.

Well...maybe more good news coming but I'm willing to bet it's still going to take awhile till we see normal prices...
Nvidia and AMD graphics cards drop to around 190% of their list price ....Nvidia and AMD graphics cards drop to around 190% of their list price | PCGamesN
....sounds great except for...it dropped to a whopping 190% above their List price from 233%....good grief....guess I'll keep waiting. I was looking around PC Stuff YouTube Videos and someone back late last year posted a review of a Cyberpower PC they ordered on Black Friday...had a Ryzen 7 and AMD RX6700...the PC costs him under $1300.00...can't touch one for less than $1700 now...

TruGolf, developers of professional golf simulators made up by a lot of the old Links developers are releasing a golf game for the PC called Links E6. Sounds like the game is going to be free and come with 5 courses, then with additional course packs available to buy as DLC.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1620750/Links_E6/
Links 386 Pro was my favorite golf game so I'm pretty excited.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
I decided to order a SSD for the current PC for games Only...it can handle a lot out there, maybe not the latest intensive ones but ones I'm looking at during the Steam July 4th Weekend Sale .... Welcome to Steam (steampowered.com)
I've been wanting to get and try grim Dawn and now it's like 75% off at like $8.00....I chat with a friend in UK who has been playing Warhammer inquisitor Martyr and he got The Last Epoch which is on sale...just 20% off and raves about it. My current PC just has a Intel 5i, 32GB Ram and a EVGA GTX 1060 6gb...some pretty good deals in the Store though...
