If you don't mind having to assemble it, you may be able to get the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti offered by NZXT.
The company's new BLD kit comes with all the parts in one box and assembly instructions so you can assemble the PC yourself. For those willing to shell out enough, an RTX 3060 Ti graphics card is offered as part of this kit.
There are two basic kits: the Starter Pro, which comes with an Intel Core i5 11400F chip and an ASRock B560 motherboard, and the Streaming Plus, which comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, MSI B550 motherboard, and NZXT Kraken M22 liquid CPU cooler. The Streaming Plus kit includes an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, MSI B550 motherboard and NZXT Kraken M22 liquid CPU cooler. If you choose the Streaming Plus kit, you also get a $200 discount over buying the pre-integrated version. Either way, you get an RTX 3060 Ti graphics card, but the manufacturer depends on which inventory NZXT finds.
For the novice PC builder, these kits have obvious advantages. All components are guaranteed to work and come with a two-year warranty, and the instructions should make screwing in the motherboard, connecting power leads, and managing data cables as difficult as flat-pack furniture. However, the shortage of the most desirable PC parts is so severe that it may be worthwhile for other users to replace their entire PC to ensure they get the GPU of their dreams.
NZXT's online instructions stop at turning on the system. Fortunately, if you don't know how to set up Windows 10 (or Windows 11), there are guides for both Windows 10 installation and Windows 11 installation.
