I have a faulty R9 290X, which I bought from a 2nd hand store with a 2 year warranty. I will be getting cash/vouchers for £70 GBP and my choices are;
A direct replacement if they still have any in the company:
The last one is really out of my budget. I have an overclocked i5-3570K and 16Gb of RAM. I play @ 1080P
I am a Modded Minecraft fan although I will be playing Diablo IV when I get the card replaced. I also play Civ VI, Bio shock, Mass effect and the Batman games but haven't bought the latest games for a while. I also play the Freelancer:Crossfire mode which is quite graphically intensive compared to other games I play.
So, as these are all used cards with a warranty, I cannot say what manufacturer they will be from. I don't know if 8Gb will be of any use to me with the games I am playing, I don't know if the RX 590 would be bottlenecked by the i5-3570K. I have read that the GTX 980 has a lot of overclocking headroom but as this is a used card, the one I get may not.
I would welcome any advice that does not involve me spending more than £30
Thanks in advance
