We shall see. True cards are still dropping in price. I just see much point in waiting that long if you can get a good deal now. By the time you're in September/October looking for a new card you might as well wait another few months for the 4060; which will trash the last gen mid cards. Heck even current gen high end if you go by value :P Assuming you can get a hold of one.

Like if i have a look at etailers now (in the UK) for a RTX 2060 its still at MSRP and more lol (a nearly 2.5 year old card). The 3060 on average around 25% higher than MSRP.. I don't think 3060 prices are going lower than MSRP tbh even when the latest Nvidia/AMD cards are out. Maybe you can find a good deal from people flogging their stuff on Ebay perhaps..

Another option is look out for the RTX 3070 Founders Edition, which sometimes comes back into stock from time to time.

The thing here is I limit my build by power draw

I have a 500W PSU and I want everything to fit within that.
And from what I've heard the 4000 series is going to draw even more power than the previous ones and those are already going up and up.

My 970 has a 150W TDP, a 2070 hit 185W and a 3070 is now rated at 220W and I personally think this is stupid. At this rate the 4070 will be a 250W+ card and with my build I would have to wait for a 4050.

Nvidia and AMD should get their shit together when it comes to power efficiency.

I have bad news for you, then: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Gets 24 GB GDDR6X Memory at 21 Gbps & 600W TDP, RTX 4070 Gets 12 GB GDDR6 Memory at 18 Gbps & 300W TDP https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-24-gb-21-gbps-600w-rtx-4070-12-gb-18-gbps-300w-graphics-cards-rumor/

It's a rumor, of course, but if the 4070 is indeed a 300W card, then the 4060 could be 250W, and the 4050 around 200W.
