So if you have seeing the price of the gpu it's really expensive but i came over this website called "staples.com" and they are selling gtx 1060 for 280-300, which is a good price compare to Amazon and Newegg where they cost like 600-700.
So, is staple.com a trust able website where i can buy GPUs?

Both show out of stock, as I said. You won't be buying any cards through them. Newegg, Amazon, Outlet PC, Superbiiz, B&H Photo, these are the places you are MOST likely to even find a card in stock, and the prices are astronomical when you do find one.

My advice would be wait until Volta, which should be coming out in the next few months or so. That might alleviate some of the lack of supply for graphics cards across the board, because Nvidia has no plans to ramp up production in order to increase availability of current Pascal based cards.

Any way you look at it though the situation is a huge pile of dung. Putting in notifications for when stock is available at the major sites seems to really be the only way to even GET your hands on...

Staples is a nationwide store chain, mostly selling office supplies. They do sell SOME hardware in their stores, and likely more online, but I'm not familiar with the fact that they are a major source for graphics cards. If they have a card for that price, I'd be skeptical of it being a third party seller through them, so I'd look into it closely and also contact their sales to verify. Probably an old listing that isn't actually even available to be honest.

Looking at the Staples website, I do not see that they even have this item for sale. Link?
