About 4 months too late on this. Apparently I will receive my 3070 at the end of January. Also took 2 months to find a Zen 3 CPU. Bought a 5800x simply because it was the only thing I could find.

I picked a poor time to decide to upgrade after putting it off a year.. Great product cycle from a feature standpoint, terrible for stock. Don't believe I'll get either a 5xxx or 6xxx before the new year. Bought a 3950x just to have something in the meantime.

Sounds like you are doing okay, that 3950x is pretty great and will re-sell for a decent amount on the second hand market. Good luck with your upgrades!

I was lucky that Microcenter has a unofficial discord channel. I followed that and was ready to go pick up parts anytime. I was able to snatch a 5900x two weeks ago and then 3070 yesterday.

I have tried online but cannot beat the bots. I would have to write my own.
