Used or New GPU

[TheDylinTech]

So I'm on a budget and looking for something like a EVGA GTX 770 Superclocked w/ ACX Cooler 2GB. 
=========================

Budget = $320 aud or $280 usd

=========================

I'm wanting to get it by Christmas. So it seems like my options are to either buy it used, look into another option or wait for the EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX 2GB to drop price (if it does).

I'd prefer a reliable NVIDIA Card (reference or non-reference I don't care) and to shop online (like amazon/ebay or any other trustworthy cheap websites).

Btw at this current time the EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX 2GB is $316 usd on amazon.

 

! ! ! Thanks ! ! !

Cool, I'll save that link. But do you think there's any chance of the gtx 770 on amazon dropping price again before Christmas? Thanks for the quick reply ! ! !

*Edit* Also is that one you linked acx cooled ?

[Spiderloser]

Will do, thanks a lot. Btw I just realized that in Australia we gotta pay about $200 more on ebay if we buy the card in our country (so ill just use ebay.com instead of .com.au lol).  Anyway I will get the gpu on amazon if it drops however I'll look into ebay as my alternative.

Before you make the purchase, keep in mind second-hand components don't have any type of warranty, unless there is one specified one by the vendor.

a new R280x would be better.

I'd rather get an Nvidia card vs AMD if this is used since you never know if the AMD card was abused to death for mining.

I would personally never buy used because you never know how much life is left in the card, could come with pre-existing problems, etc. I'd just assume saving and buying new.
