[SOLVED] Refurbished gtx 980 or wait for Ryzen 4400g.

[Reycho]

I am building a low budget pc build and was wondering should I get a refurbished gtx 980 for 120 with a ryzen 3 3300x or even a ryzen 4000 cpu when it comes out, or should I just get a ryzen 4400g when its available?

Here is the refurbished gtx 980, it is currently out of stock though.

so, are you comparing the intergrated graphics of the 4400G to a 980?

Sorry, I should of been more specific, Is it worth taking the risk of a refurbished graphics card and a slower 4 core cpu, over a newer 6 core apu.

Depends on the price

thanks. although it really depends on these things:

1. settings in game
2. resolution
3. refresh rate
4. type of game

(I just really wanted to try out the list feature)

gtx 980 is better

Depends on the price

The Ryzen 4400g I believe is going to be around £219 and the ryzen 3 3300x gtx 980 combo will be around £220

if you want better CPU go with ryzen 4400g or get the gtx 980

Ok, thank you!

why would you think the vega graphics core in an APU would be better then a dedicated GPU?

just because AMD names the graphics core after their GPU line does not mean it will have the same power as a dedicated GPU. all it is is just a slighly better version of intel's graphics core

I'm worried that the refurbished gpu may break after a few years, or have some reliability issues.
