OK, so I'm lookin around for a GTX1060 to replace my 1050 Ti, and I found a $200 refurbished one on B&H, would this be a good buy? It seems cheaper than other places, but I'm not sure. I can't afford any other card, but I can sacrifice $50 to get a new one. Would it be a good idea to buy a refurbished 1060, or should I just wait a bit longer to get enough money to buy a new one? Also, could anyone tell me where I could find a cheaper one, if there is any cheaper place to buy it.


It would also help if someone could tell me where I could sell my (obviously used) 1050 Ti.

A refurb 1060 is good, but of course I'd have to recommend an RX 580 because it's, more often than not, cheaper for the same thing.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

Hm, it does seem cheaper.

But I hate to say this, I have a pointless bias against against anything Radeon.

I mean, if you really just want to pay more money for the same thing, then I guess go ahead?
