Hey guys!The story is simple.. my gtx 780 died on me 2 weeks ago and i'm searching for a good price second hand card which will serve me good.

I'm not heavy user i play only league and sometimes metro or tomb raider but i don't demand highest settings.

I found a used 280x strix edition but one fan is not working and it's hard to spin by hand.I've read online and found that faulty grease or smth is going bad with those so not a big deal i have spare ones.

However the price is 60$ and i can go test it with my rig np.

What do you guys think about it ?

ebay, can be good but look out encase. I would recommend looking at their reviews to ensure, if they have reasonable reviews (95%+ and 1000+ reviews) you should be fine

Other option is Craigslist

I'd get a different 280x, spending 10$ on replacement fans is not worth it.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-Radeon-NITRO-R9-380X-4GB-DL-DVI-I-DL-DVI-D-HDMI-DP-Dual-X-OC-Graphics/202572877462?epid=18003298254&hash=item2f2a48ce96:g:WEkAAOSwiJZcR-Zj:rk:6:pf:0

just bid on it once, as it does have 20$ shipping

or this

etc.
