If cost dont matter, well 4 way :
- EVGA queue list, got mine in 9-10 months.
- Go out in a sotre, find's out near my place they don't send stock notice on their website, nor ship. So went for a HDD, and there was 20 GPU , 3080ti, 3060, 3060ti, 3090, and few AMD.
Bought a 3060 for my bro, back in september
- Get a built PC with a 3080 and see if someone around you need a new PC with a 1080, so you can sell it.
- local store per-purchace waiting list; here there's a 3-4 month waiting, faster than EVGA tho
At the end, it still make no sens, back in the days I bought a gtx960 4gb strix, for 220$ new at the store.
And now, the MSI 3060 cost me 715$ new , at the store.
3060 are selling around 950$ on FB.
(cad $)
Year to Year comparison, 960 and 3060 bring you the same gaming experience, and inflation is way way way out.
at least the 1080 has some value (here is around 800-900$ used), so you can cut the cost a bit.

I tried that approach. I ordered an entry-level Omen gaming computer at HP with the optional upgrade to an RTX 3080. Everything seemed to progress until 2 days before the build and ship date. HP cancelled my order citing, "material shortages." They didn't specify, but my guess it was the RTX 3080 shortage.
I'm running Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 and it requires a beefy video card to get the details. With my GTX 1080 video card, I have to run all of the detail settings on low to get decent frame rates. I think the Radeon RX 6900 XT will solve that problem very nicely.
