If I could see myself finding a descent video card at MSRP, I might be convinced to build a new computer and this would be the processor I get. I just do not see any MSRP video cards showing up any time soon.

Too bad the only cards occasionally available for or near msrp are the 5060 ti 8gb and 5070

This is a really good price for this. But it's still overkill for almost everyone. What I find kind of odd is that this chip, which is normally $900-1000, is really only preferable over the 9950X (which is about $550 regularly) for 1080p gaming. Reason being that for high quality 1440p or 4K, the GPU is the bottleneck, not the CPU. Who is dropping this kind of money on a chip but still gaming at 1080p?

The GPU market is so bad, it's pretty much turning people away from the PC hobby.

People who want to play CS:GO at 500fps at 1080p? I don't get it either. After a certain point the fps become meaningless. OTOH it may just be the way sites run benchmarks now, 1080p benchmarks allow the CPU to fly without relying on a beefy GPU like 4K would.
