Budet Graphics Card

[Grovers1]

Hey,

Iv only got a budget of $100 - $150AUD for a Gpu.

And so my Question is should i get a New Gpu for $100-$150 or should i get a 2nd had one thats would of been worth more like $200-$250?

Feel free to suggest me cards.

 

My Currently Planed Build - https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Grovers/saved/

Total Pc Budget - $1,100 AUD Max

 

Thanks Grover

Go for second hand 380(X) or wait for RX480 and save money during that time to purchase it. Also depends on your rig tho. Post your current pc specs?

[Citadelen]

Wait for the RX 480.

[Thony]

RX 480 if it loves up to the hype will be dominating the $200 market. Wait for it (Late June-Early July).

You need a new PSU first - CX430 is terrible and under no circumstances should it be used with a mid-range or higher GPU. Anything beyond a 750 Ti is not advisable with it

Have you bought anything yet? Cuase the CPU is way too overkill, the PSU is way too crappy and the GPU budget is way too low

Sorry, its USD  which comes around 275 AUD and thats out of your budget. Maybe brands like Zotac, Palit, Gainward will release something in 250AUD range which u are willing to spend if u have to.
I dont do builds, theres plenty of people here who will help u with that

Ops, didn't notice it was 1333 - if he can fit it in the budget sure

It would leave you with the budget of the RX 480 8gb. You can just find another case.

Which GPUs

Case is your choice - I just add a cheap one which I know is good. Though spending extra money on the case would be foolhardy as that would require a weaker GPU/CPU or a worse quality PSU which is not advisable - when you have a limited budget, the priority should be value and quality, not looks

The RX 480/470 due in a month

Buying an i7 is nuts when it sticks you with a crap gpu. Drop down to an i5-6500 and put that $160 toward a better gpu.

[SteveGrabowski0]

Even if the RX 480 gets a huge price bump to $350 AUS you're still good on an $1100 AUS budget with this system.

No SSD?

I don't know man, I think 60 fps gaming is more important than booting into Windows 10 seconds faster.

You can shave 40$ on the case and 20$ off the ram. That's enough for a 120GB 535 Intel SSD

I'd rather have the nice case and the 16 GB of RAM myself than a bottom of the barrel SSD. In the days of 60 GB game installs I don't think an SSD makes much sense below 250 GB. I can't recommend 8 GB of RAM on an H110 board since you only have two DIMMs and since you lose some performance only going one stick. Especially when RAM is cheap right now.

[SteveGrabowski0]

I'd just add a 250GB or 500GB SSD later on, they keep coming down in price anyways. SSDs are nice upgrades but getting as strong of a core in the beginning should be the main focus when on a budget.

Having your most used software on an SSD (OS, browser, AV and such) is a very neat thing to have, especially when a Source 210 is available for half the price of that case.

The Source 210 is a dust magnet though. Nice build quality, but that case is ancient in features. No dust filters, no side facing HDD (so cable management will be a mess), no front panel USB 3.0, and you need to buy a bracket to install an SSD. Whereas the Enthoo Pro M is a really nice modern case for an excellent price.
