whats the price for the 480 GTR where you live, its the best RX 480, if its too expensive for you just get the 480 Nitro +

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Been watching linus videos, do I need a card with 8gb of VRAM? because I dont play highly demanding games - I'm just getting this to play overwatch atm so might be a bit overkill
