Hi guys,

I can get either GPU, the used is about 50€ cheaper and works, what should I do according to you guys? Thanks a lot!

I would get the used card through PayPal and if it doesn't work or isn't performing well, send it back through PayPal's return policy.

I'd just buy the new one and savr my self issues with the usef one. 50€ saving could mean a headache since you don't know what kind of use the used one truely has. Gpu is a very delicate component. To me the most delicate. So I recommend 2 things: Google some reviews and prices and always buy new when it comes to gpu.

The most delicate component? Are you insane? The most important and delicate component is your PSU by far. If you get it used and it's a bad egg it could completely fry other components.

Saving yourself that money is a good bit of money to put towards an SSD, better processor, more RAM, etc.

Your GPU is one of the most lenient components, along with your CPU of course. These two parts would usually be the last to die with casual gaming use and are the areas where you can save the most money. Winshester, I would like to know which GPU you bought off of eBay that made you so butthurt.

Amm! You should read a bit better before trying to pass by as a wise guy. "gpu is a very delicate component. **TO ME** the most delicate." And you might wanna try buying your self a trustable Psu and use a power regulator this way you won't freak out like you just did next time.
