Hey LTT forum,

I'm looking for a good PC component store within the New York area, closer to times square the better. A bit of backstory, my dad is going to NY for work and asked if I wanted anything, long story short he might be getting me a graphics card as the prices in america are far more reasonable than in New Zealand. Closer to times square is better as I fell like he will be more likely to buy it if he can get to the store easily.

 

Second question is what graphics card should I ask for. Of course I will ask for the best but if it is out of dads budget is it worth getting a mid range current gen card or going crossfire and getting another 6950? I believe the correct answer to my own question to be to get a new mid range card however theres something about having two graphics cards that seems cool to me.

 

Thanks in advance 

Destroyer.

I heard Amazon may open a brick and mortar store in Manhattan.

R9 280/280x? Would that be in your budget?

 

Hopefully :)
