I have no idea where you live, but out of curiosity I checked the inventory in the KC (Brentwood) store. They have a RX 5600x for $280.

Also depending how much of a hurry you are in, AMD's 6000 series might be worth waiting on. It looks like the RX 6500x should drop in January for approx $300.

Edit: The MC link does not go to the Brentwood store. You will have to select the store at the top of the page. FYI.

Newegg had an MSI 5600 XT for $230 after code and $10 MIR two weeks ago and a sale just ended on an ASUS 5600 XT for $249.99 w/free shipping and no sales tax.
I am gonna keep checking but will be pulling the trigger on something by BF/CM. Getting anything bigger than a 5600XT would be something of a waste as I will be picking up whatever is the biggest baddest come time to build the next rig.
