Wait for the mining bubble to pop and get a second hand 1070/1060/580

Unless its at a 30% off MSRP then i would never buy a graphics card used for mining.

1050ti or PS4 or XBOX ONE S?

 

Which one is worth it? I already have a PC, I can play Overwatch at 60+ fps.. is it worth getting that extra fps?

 

Any youtube that uses a PS4? Tbh nearly every popular youtuber is on PC 

depends, what do you plan on playing, there is no need to get a xbox now because all its "exclusives" are on the windows 10 store. the only real need for a ps4 is if you want to play with friends and its exclusives. honestly the best choice is to go with the 1050ti

Think about this.  Whatever city you live in, doesn't matter where, has hundreds or thousands of mid tier gpu's and they will all try and sell at the same time.

 

You could be at half off pretty easily m8.

But if hes asking what gives you better bang for your buck, you could just get the 1050ti and it would completely destroy any console

not exactly, consoles will get more support than your 1050ti, remember xbox 360/ ps3 was released in 2006, was still supported in 2013, while PC hardware from 2006 was obsolete.

Wait for the second hand mining cards, you could probably get a 1070 for 200.

Are they really going to be that cheap? Do you think 580s will be under $150 new like 480s were a few months ago?

$200 for a 1070 seems a bit overly low to me... then 580s will be like $120 that makes no sense...

Yeah it does, supply and demand are extremely powerful market forces.  1070s sold new for 300 before mining and not only will the cards be older they will be entirely second hand.  Add to that the surge of competition between sellers with say 5 gpu's a piece as they saturate the market.  I can pretty easily see 1070s going for 150-200 bucks in big cities where there are literally thousands of gpu's available, all at once.
