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?

Graphics card absolutely does not have to be the same brand as the motherboard. As others have said, the brand really doesn't matter though some avoid Zotac and PNY. Some will say some brands have better customer service than others. If you buy from Best Buy or another reputable store you can use them for your first line of customer service.

My experience with graphics card brands is limited to MSI and EVGA, both of which have been 100% solid grade A performers for me.

Motherboards, I've used ASUS and MSI and both have been solid.
