I personally ordered a PowerColor Radeon RX Vega 64 AXRX VEGA 64 8GBHBM2-2D2H/OC 8GB 2048-Bit HBM2 late yesterday for a $590 sale-price (the sale-price included a free game currently selling for $60 on Steam). This morning, the price jumped back up to $700+ at Newegg and Amazon, so it was a good sale price.
Since this is a high end custom card, I assume its fair price (not influenced by Cryptocurrency mining) would be in the $550 to $600 range. So, I don't feel bad about the price being overly high.
This RX Vega 64 is, on paper, tied for the fastest RX Vega 64 being sold. Based on Vega 64 test reports, its FPS will only be a few percent less than an Nvidia GTX 1080Ti selling for $750 (cheapest I found).
I've also ordered a new ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming AM4 motherboard. Not Gigabyte this time because the ASUS has better location and cooling for the M.2. SSD.
Last year, I had planned to get the GPU and MB a few weeks after each became available. However, cryptocurrency mining pushed up the GPU price (and, not on sale, its still up there). Also, the X470 was recently released.
