Personally if you are planning to commit to a higher end one, you should buy a Power Supply before the cards actually launch. I would obviously wait for the TDP numbers but the last thing you want is to pay a premium for a PSU due to PSU shortages and GPUs as well.
But on the other hand, the requirements of what is required to be a long lasting GPU will continue to go down as long as you aren't targeting 4k. A 2080 Super which had an msrp of $700 is what was required due to the power of consoles. Then with Ampere, a 3060 Ti is good enough which had an msrp of $400 and it's faster than a 2080 Super. So a 4060 might seem meh but assuming that's faster than 3060 Ti like how a 3060 is similar to a 2060 Super... Well if you play at 1440p, a 4060 is all you really need.

So Intel can now hinder AMD totally legally by not allowing their chips to get produced. Genius! It really sucks for AMD. Why does TSMC give Intel a higher priority despite them being a new client and by then a competitor to boot since Intel want to become a fab for other by then, too? |
Yea that's the main issue with shortages in a competitive landscape. You either need truck loads of money to buy up supply or you need an architecture that will pull above it's weight despite being in a node deficit. And this will especially suck for consumers because regardless of how good the performance may be, datacenter will always get priority.
It's all about money. TSMC might favor AMD in a situation where AMD offering equivalent amount of money as other companies but Apple, Intel and probably Nvidia will probably offer copious amounts of money to ensure they have supply for their products.
