I can't decide which to get between a used g1 gtx 980 for 272USD and a new Strix 1060 for 408USD. Asus is a expensive.

Is the 980 a good deal? price to performance?

*currency is converted to USD

Ryzen  5 3600 | ASUS Strix B450i Strix | G-Skill Trident Z RGB 16gb 3200mhz

Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super OC | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500gb | NZXT H200i | NZXT x52 | Corsair RM650x

980 and 1060 perform on par with each other. Get the 980 if its cheaper.
