$2,279.99?
Well, I was saving up for a first vehicle for my daughter. I'm sure she'll be fine with a bike...

That is no shit! I’m getting ready to buy my high school son his first car from a family member. Hyundai Sonata Limited. Nice little car. Paying $6k for it. You hit it on the head. This goddamned gpu costs damn near half as much as a frigging car.

Might have found the GPU I am going to go after instead of a 3060 Ti

Seen some really good benchmarks from the Radeon 6800s. But I've also seen some scary stories of drivers not working worth a shit, and performance close to the GeForce cards with half the RAM. The Radeon card apparently suck at ray tracing right now too.
AMD RX 6800 XT runs at almost half the frame rate of Nvidia's RTX 3080 in Vulkan Ray Tracing tests Still too early for me to jump on the Radeon wagon considering the prices they're asking.

My buddy was able to snag a 3090 but he isn't getting anywhere near the performance that they showed. He games on 4k so the cpu shouldn't matter much right?

Yes, the CPU absolutely matters. You'll need a good CPU for pushing 4K gaming. It will definitely bottleneck that GPU's performance.

Here is a bottleneck calculator your buddy could use to see how his cpu/ graphics card combo will work together at different resolutions. https://pc-builds.com/calculator/
