I'm looking to build a new PC with a 9070 XT, but I've noticed that prices are currently around 103% of MSRP in my region. With the 9060 series launching on June 5th, I'm curious whether it might lead to a drop in the 9070 XT prices. Given that I don't want to wait too long to start my build, when do you think I might see any price reductions for the 9070 XT?

I doubt we'll see a drop either. If the prices are that close to MSRP, you're likely getting the best deal possible right now. Just keep an eye on any sales as stock changes.
Honestly, I don't think the prices are going to drop anytime soon. The 9060 isn't in direct competition with the 9070 XT since they target different price ranges. You might need to wait for actual stock availability before any real sales happen, which could take a year or so.
You're probably right. I've found a Powercolor Reaper for $830 and a Hellhound for $850. I’ve heard good things about the Hellhound, so I might grab that one!
