GTX 480 in 2016

[Jon66238]

So, I'm wondering if I should get a GTX 480 or GTX 570 for my first official custom build. I know they're both old but I don't want to spend more than $65. Thanks for any input. I can't go past $65 so don't tell me to save up or buy a GTX 1050 Ti. This is just for now, and I'll upgrade later down the line.

Interesting, I would love to know a little more about what you’re doing with the machine.

 

This may help, it's the Toms Hardware websites hierarchy, always a good starting point.

Now that would be a bargain.

They go for that all the time on /r/hardwareswap and a max of $70 on eBay (anything higher should be avoided)

Now that's good to know.

 

I say that but I'm not in the market for a lower end card (relatively speaking), but to be honest even at $70 that's a good deal.
