Hello there,
I'm going to take the old PC (FX 6300, 16GB RAM) of my mate, but I want to switch the graphics card (my old HD 7790). I could get my hands on several used ones:
1) HD 7950 3GB for 90$
2) Geforce GTX 670 OC 2GB for 100$
3) Geforce GTX 680 OC 2GB for 125$
4) Radeon R9 280X 3GB for 150$
*(as reference a new Geforce 1050ti 4GB costs about 170€/210$)
**(the prices here in Germany for used computer parts may widely differ from the ones you have in anglophone countries, so I converted Euro in Dollar)
Since I don't want to spend too much money to upgrade this old chap, I'm seriously considering one of the cards above. The margin above would easily allow me to buy a additional SSD drive just for comfort.
What's your opinion?
