Looks like you'll be looking at either a 470 or 4gb 480.

 

The MSI 470 costs 200 bucks: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137024&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Video+Cards+-+AMD%2FATI-_-N82E16814137024&gclid=Cj0KEQjw8pC9BRCqrq37zZil4a0BEiQAZO_zrGzhwxm5jSqxtr6SBheRhC8kUXBaXFOSwLk1ksrjTfwaAjg48P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

If I were you though I would get a lower end 480 instead (maybe a sapphire nitro 480 though that costs 220 dollars).

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

so it's alright to get it because i don't want a fucking broken 970

Nothing wrong with buying used, just depends where you get it from. Ebay for example, if the listing says it's still in working order and it's broken when you get it then you can get a refund.

Main PC CPU: 7700K, MOBO: Asus Strix, GPU: Aorus Extreme 3080, PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 750, RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB Storage: 970 Evo 1tb

Lounge PC CPU: 4790K MOBO: Asus Hero VII GPU: EVGA 3060 Ti PSU: Corsair RM650 RAM: Kingston HyperX 16gb Storage: 970 Evo 1TB

used doesn't mean broken. As long as the seller seems trustworthy I'd go for it. $200 for the 970 seems like a good deal.

Some hardware ages well, other wont. CPU, GPU, RAM and Mobos usually age pretty well. Used hard drives and PSUs I'd recommend always buying new.

What currency?

 

$200USD for a 970 isn't worth it as you can get a new 480 4gb for that price.
