Where to buy RTX 3060: the retailers to find stock available now
Finding RTX 3060 stock is, arguably, the most difficult out of the lot due to its low cost point and high price-to-performance ratio. Because of this, it's become one of the most sought after cards since release.
That's an impressive metric to measure for sure, so it's no surprise that many would-be PC builders have sought after it since launch and continue to pine for it in their collections the world over.
- US RTX 3060 stock most likely at: Amazon | Newegg | Best Buy
- UK RTX 3060 stock most likely at: Amazon | Currys | Ebuyer | Box | CCL
Sadly, finding RTX 3060 stock is a little more complicated than it would otherwise be, were there not a global pandemic seriously comprising production on electronics; including the RTX 30-series graphics cards.
With this thought in mind, we'll tell it to you straight, you're highly unlikely to find RTX 3060 stock at its asking price from even the largest retailers. As a result, don't expect massive savings or bundle deals here, just having the cards for an acceptable price is deal enough in this context, we're saddened to report.
RTX 3060 price
We've thrown around words like 'budget' for a good reason; the RTX 3060 has an MSRP of $329 and an RRP of £300, meaning that its price-to-performance ratio is simply exemplary - in the unlikely event that you can find one for its retail price.
That's right, as we've seen with the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 Ti after it, the RTX 3060 continues to be elusive from market, ensuring that when it's available, it's carrying an inflated cost, too.

Nvidia RTX 3060 | From $329 (Check Amazon)
At this point in time, Amazon is pretty much completely out of any kind of RTX 3060 stock, though it's likely that, should a restock happen, Amazon would be one of the first places to get them in sooner than most.

Best Buy had a large-scale in-store RTX 30 series restock take place starting on October 1, with some of the larger stores having GPU stock over the weekend. Graphics cards were limited to one model per person. It should be noted, we saw RTX 3060s, and RTX 3060 Ti, be restocked at this retailer back in August, so it's definitely worth watching Best Buy for video cards.

If you're interested in stock, and have little regard for the asking prices, Newegg does have the card on sale, including gaming desktops rocking the cards for around $1,100 onwards, which seems fair to us and definitely the preferable solution here.
Where to buy RTX 3060 - UK
Nvidia RTX 3060 | From £300 (Check Amazon)
Across the pond, Amazon does not have much in the way of RTX 3060 stock to speak of. As iterated upon above, however, when refreshes and restocks begin to roll in, whenever that may be, Amazon is likely to be one of, if not the first place that gets them.
Nvidia RTX 3060 | From £300 (Check Currys)
As with other members of the RTX 30 series family, Currys is completely out of RTX 3060 graphics cards of any description, and it's currently unknown when a restock could reappear again soon. However, right now you can get an Asus TUF RTX 3060 laptop for only £929 - reduced from £999.
Nvidia RTX 3060 | From £300 (Check EBuyer)
The cheapest price we were able to find on RTX 3060 stock from EBuyer was £589.98 for a 12GB model. With that said, if you're desperate for the card, and have a little more cash in your pocket, it could be worth it for you. Otherwise, we recommend waiting.
Nvidia RTX 3060 | From £300 (Check Box)
The cheapest price we could find on an RTX 3060 is £639.99 for a Palit Dual model. Box has some fantastic gaming laptops starting at just £949.97 that feature the graphics card inside; which we think is an excellent value for money.
Nvidia RTX 3060 | From £300 (Check CCL Computers)
The best price that we were able to find on RTX 3060 stock at CCL was £549.99 - one of the fairer rates in our roundup despite being still expensive. There are several available at this price point, too.
Hope isn't lost completely for the rest of the RTX 30-series range; stock has been appearing sporadically throughout both the US and UK, but it could cost more than anticipated for the cards on their own.
