hi Tom's Hardware community!
i come to you with a bit of a dilema. so i recently bought a GTX 1060 6gb for 150 dollars (i know, not the best of deals but that's one of the cheapest i could find in my country) to make a pc build and flip it for profit. in my main rig i have a GTX 970 and i was wondering, should i swap the GTX 970 from my main rig with the 1060? and of course, put the GTX 970 in the build that i want to sell, albeit with a slightly cheaper price tag. what would you guys do if you were in my position?
btw, for those who are interested, these are the deals that i got :
i5 3470, an MSI H61 mobo, 8gbs of DDR3 dual-channel memory clocked at 1600mhz and an Intel stock heatsink for 110 dollars
a 250gb Samsung 850 EVO SATA SSD, almost brand new 35 dollars
a brand new, sealed 1tb WD Caviar Black HDD, also 35 dollars
a brand new Corsair VS450, warranty included for 30 dollars ; first of all, i know this isn't the best of psus but i chose it because one, i'm not comfortable with buying second hand psus, regardless of how good some deals might be... and two, it's from Corsair, a reputable brand. plus, i've seen a lot of people running more power hungry CPUs and GPUs with no problem. i'd rather buy a 450w psu from a reputable brand than a 700w from a no-name brand
so what do you guys think? i'd love to hear all of your opinions and suggestions below! thanks.
