Thoughts on purchase? Was it worth it?

Hello Everyone! 

 

So...

 

I just purchased this graphics card and I wasn't sure If I got a good deal or not. 

 

I ended up in a bidding war and won!

 

But it was a lot higher than I wanted to go. 

 

So question is... 

 

Did I make the right choice ?

 

Here's the card!

 

 

Intel Core I7 7820X | Asus Rampage VI | Gigabyte RX 580 XTR | 32GB Crucial Ballistix | NZXT Kraken X62

ADATA XPG 256GB PCIe| Cosmos C700P CM | Lepa MaxPlatinum 1050W

Edit: or you can just tell us what card it is and the price you paid

You did alright, probably would have been better to get a 280x, since you get a fresh warranty and all, but who know's if they kept their MSRP or if the price is still inflated.

Not a bad deal but not the greatest either, I would have gone with the 280X instead for that price

...you can buy them cheaper new from an actual retailer unless you REALLY need Plat edition, and I don't think you do.

 

I wouldn't have done that

Based on the reviews on the 280X card I rather not.

I guess there's nothing wrong with your purchase then. You seem to have came in here convinced. 

 

I assume you know that the 280x is a 7970.

Yeah someone told me in my last form. 

 

So I guess I can say its a win win situation.
