Help – I'm buying a PC

[Veronica]

I'd love to see where you can find a decent GPU in stock at a reasonable price.

Lol I just went to a tech places yesterday to help a buddy of mine install his cameras. I went in the parts isle and they’re literally full in stock with great computer parts. Not to mention I checked Amazon and see everything available ?   Not that hard here

Britain is in lockdown. i think that why  they cant get computer parts

Ahh see that makes more sense. Considering we’re back to normal basically I found it a bit odd not being able to find parts

Has nothing to do with the lockdown, GPUs in particular are out of stock everywhere due to a global chip shortage - even last generation cards are gone. AMD CPUs are hit but not as badly, you can still find those around.

It is pandemic related tho. there are few semi conductor manufactures, and they are all outsourced in china/tiwan. The trade war Donald trump caused with china and pandemic is the reason for the shortages. Following reasons is due to surge in demand from ppl staying home and needing PS5, new computers and crypto mining gear.
