3rd Gen Ryzen 3000 Shortage Still a Thing, 2 Months After Launch, Driving Prices Upedit
If it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t. AMD’s third-gen Ryzen 3000 lineup offers truly unbeatable value compared to similar Intel offerings.

AMD’s made sure that the Ryzen 5 is well-stocked, but the higher-end Ryzen parts are still experiencing a major supply shortage. The Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 9 3900X are in such short supply that prices remain well over MSRP.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Rumored to Launch by October 2019edit
So it appears that NVIDIA isn’t entirely done with the Turing architecture just yet, at least not completely. The GTX 16 series made most of AMD’s Polaris cards obsolete, however, the Radeon RX 570 is still a very relevant offering in the entry-level segment. Being cheaper than the GeForce GTX 1650, it offers similar and at times better performance than the lowest-end Turing part, thereby making it the better pick out of the two.
