The price of all NVIDIA cards have seen a huge hike in price in the last few weeks due to availability. As such we recommend sticking to lower cards for the time such as the GTX 1050 as this hasn't risen as drastically. NVIDIA have asked suppliers to restrict sales to 2 per customer so this may see a decline in the availability for miners, but this will still take a while to see any decrease in price. As such our prices may be changing constantly as the purchase price is reflected in the end user price. As an example...

That has not changed—finding an RX 580/570 in stock and without a grossly inflated price tag is a near-impossible task—but what has changed is that miners now seem to be driving up the price of Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060 and 1070 cards too....
