I had Microcenter build me a new PC a couple of months ago, and supply was only a problem for the very newest top-of-the line stuff. Everything else was okay. Since I didn't really need bleeding-edge, I had no issue.

I tried to order a custom desktop with a rtx2070 this November from a dozen sellers. Everyone said they had problem with their own suppliers and I should expect to wait until mid January or buy at something like 800 euros for that card. Insane (I just took a xbox series s instead).

In stock GPU selection at some European retailers: OverclockersUK: 5700XT, 1050 Ti, 1030 Komplett.ie: GT 1030 and some random Quadro computeruniverse.net: 1650 Ti, GT 710, RTX 3090 (for $2400) scan.co.uk: Teslas, Quadros, GT 1030, GT 710, GT 210 That's it. No other RX 5000, no RTX 2000, no RTX 3000, no RX 6000. So that's two of them don't even have gaming GPUs in stock, as an entire product category, and the others you get some last gen low end cards and one retailer with a 5700XT. It's a little more noticeable here.

  > European retailers Half of the ones you have listed are UK retailers. I haven't checked the others but computeruniverse.net has various RX 5000 series GPUs in stock. So does mindfactory.de at the moment. The new RX 6000 serious GPUs have been selling out quickly but they were just released this/last month and new stock does keep popping up.

    They list 5600XT, card slower than Nvidia 4 year old 1070, at 350 Euro. 220 Euro for a 5500, slower than 4 year old 1060, slower than $160 MSRP 1650s. But wait, there are no 1650s in stock, and no 1060, and no 1070. There is 1660 Ti however, $280 MSRP, listed at 410 Euro .... thats almost twice the msrp for a 2 year old product. The only products they havent run out of are listed at 2x the markup.
