Where did all the 1060's and 1070's go?

I was building a new computer for later this year and had already done most of the research. I finally saved up for it on a wish list and was going through some last minute research before I ordered it.

The video card was out of stock. I didn't think much of it then I started to look into a different card. Nearly every single place I looked had no 1060's or 1070's in stock. I don't have $500+ dollar's to spend on a video card.

It's only been a about a month since I finished the wish list. What happened?

Is their any other cards out there in that range with that type of performance?

I tend to favor Nvidia over AMD just from personal experiences. Why are these cards gone and are they coming back and I just need to wait or has the manufacturer's just stopped with these cards waiting on new versions?

Any insight into this is greatly appreciated.

Everyone bought out RX x70 and x80 cards for ethereum mining, then 1060s, then 1070s, now prices are insane.
Give it a few weeks to blow over.
