Graphics card price?

I've been wanting to try to build my own gaming PC but all the graphics cards I see are crazy expensive. Is that normal?

Yes. It's a little better than it was but the huge trend of mining crypto currency means that there's a mass shortage on video cards since those are an essential part of the process.

Biggest recommendation is go for "good enough" rather than trying to go for the best card you can get because that's where the price skyrockets. The diminishing returns aren't worth the cost. I've always gone with mid level cards and it's not like games are less fun.

@CountScrofula I did look into some cheaper options but even they seemed over priced(from what I've been told). I was told to try for a 3060

@LinaLina a 3060 is decent, especially if you're going to game at 1080p. I have a 3060 Ti and I can run most games on full detail in 1080p.
