We can't find it in stock anywhere.
We have found (gone now) the MSI 3060 ti Ventus (only 2 fans) and an EVGA 3060 ti. Do the brands make much difference? The component list had an MSI motherboard, is that why they recommended the MSI version of the 3060?

The brands don't matter at all. Some cards will have better cooling which will let your son potentially set their clocks higher to achieve [very] slightly better performance. Some cards will come pre overclocked. The parts that actually matter are basically all the same across all brands . The things that matter the most are the Nvidia chip numbers (3060 vs 3070 vs 3080 vs 3090) and the Ti vs non-Ti versions (Ti is like a half-step in improvement between the 60-70-80-90).
Any motherboard brand will work with any video card brand (the only exception for now is brand new Intel cards but they are not really a part of this discussion).
