Used 780 Ti

[kingatlas]

So, a friend is willing to sell me a EVGA ssc 780Ti for £150 (mates rates) and it has been used for 8 months and is in perfect working condition. It is a good price for a used 780Ti. I will be upgrading from a 750Ti. I play GTA V, CSGO, Fallout 4, and I will be playing DOOM soon. I have a 1080p monitor and a sufficient psu to enable the easy upgrade. It will be paired with an i5-4460. My question is; Is it worth it?

Go for it!

[Moonzy]

yes `-`

kk, bye 2 weeks wage

Oh yes, nice deal

It makes me regret not buying a 780 for $140 when I had the chance. 

That's a good deal, as long as the card's in working order and doesn't have enough problems to make it seem like it's going to give out in a month or two.

 

What would a 'Sufficient PSU' be? I couldn't help but notice that you're still running off an OEM Dell Inspiron PC, but you haven't cited your power supply specifications. Wattage alone isn't enough, especially for a hungry 780 Ti, and you'll need something of considerably higher quality than a Corsair CX or EVGA 'B' power supply.

@STRMfrmXMN- I don't know enough to provide a verdict, although I really don't think a CX750m is a healthy pair with a 780 Ti. Is the card efficient enough not to push the relatively low-quality power supply to anything that might be considered a stressful load?
 

@kingatlas- what else do you have in that system?

Nah, 780tis get hot. I'd swap it out for something in yellow in my signature.
