Hello ltt community,
I'm going to be building a computer for my cousin for christmas (although he'll pay for it...) and he wants to aim for 500 - 700 Australian Dollars. He wants something that he can take places because he often stays with his dad who lives in a different house to his mum. I've so far cut the price down to about 500-600 AUD (prices change weekly) and I'm looking at buying a gtx 780ti 750ti because of it's overclockability, size, and price:performance. But I dont know if it's the best way to go. If anyone has reccomendations for good value graphics cards for about $150 AUD, please drop a comment.
Thanks.
