I can currently get a GPU for $20 less than what it is usually at($300). Should I buy it before the rest of my parts?

 

When will you buy the rest of your parts?  Soon?  Then yes?  Months?  No.

 

FYI, a $20 savings isn't urgent 🙂

What GPU is it? What other parts are you going to buy? What's your budget? What do you want to do with this PC?

I already have a full parts list and the GPU is on a limited sale, I just need to know if I should use it or not, I will have my other parts at max in a month.

Does the $20 make that much of a difference to you?

 

Where is this list?

 

All I know is my gut says maybe.

If it's anything under RX 6700XT it's not worth the hustle. Especially if it's 60 series RTX crap. For $300 you can usually buy a 2nd hand RX 6800 non-XT or a 3080 LHR 10 GB, which are still very capable GPUs.

Speaking of my favorite card, the 6700 XT, I got it for $240 a few months ago (new) on Amazon. It's usually $300 but goes on sale frequently, so if anyone's looking for a sub-$300 GPU and don't want to buy used, keep your eyes on the 6700XT (specifically, the PowerColor Fighter model)
