Parts Breakdown (amazon ~ MSRP):
CPU AMD 5600x -- $300
Mobo Asrock B500M Pro4 -- $139
Memory DDR4 32GB 3200 MHz -- $160
SSD ​1TB NVMe -- $105
DEEPCOOL Gammaxx GT -- $30
800W 80+ Gold PSU -- Let's say $100
Case iBUYPOWER Trace 5 MR -- $80
OS Windows Home + build/shipping fees ~ $100
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sum it up, that's $1014 for roughly everything but the GPU. Therefore, you're paying $1000 for a 3080.
That means your are getting 3080 almost for MSRP. What can go wrong?
But if something go wrong you can cancel the order before it is shipped.

Unfortunately we have a presidential administration that decides every few weeks that it needs to spend a couple trillion to fix some problem they declare, so cryptos are an attractive shelter from the inflation caused by washingtons money printing.
so a lot of gpus and such hardware are going to be offloaded onto the market. it's not about inflation guys, its about the fact that the most profitable coin now will lose possibly 50% of the mining profits, which can kill some people's ability to farm. So essentially, what made the gpus worth money will lose part of that premium. People will still mine, but the argument is what affect this will have on the price of gpus. Obviously they will go down, why else do you think manufacturers are trying to push these out and get the orders in now?
Thanks

Here's a definition: "Inflation is the decline of purchasing power of a given currency over time"
The value of cryptocurrency going down means that you can't purchase as much with it as you could when it was higher. That is the definition of inflation and cryptocurrencies have been and continue to be subject to it.
Best bet for GPU shortage to end is difficulty on Ethereum to reach the point that the profits are low even with free electricity. If someone was making $20 a month with a 3080 instead of $300/month, they wouldn't be willing to pay so much for them.

Inflation exists regardless of currency... As does exchange rate.
