What GPU should I buy?

Hi guys! Merry Christmas!!!


So I currently have a GTX 660 OEM 1.5GB and seriously need an upgrade... I've been sitting on this for a while now, my budget at max is 210USD and I'd rather not hear "just save a bit more and get X, Y or Z" as I am a part time waiter now and live in a part of Spain where money is very hard to come by.

I was toying with a second hand GTX 970 from es.webuy.com but they sold out
 

CPU: AMD FX 8120

Well, try to find another one? GTX 970 is still perfectly good card for 1080p-gaming and a used one is very good value, too, in general. I just played through Wolfenstein 2 recently on a 970 at 1080p, high details and it chugged along perfectly.

Hand, n. A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into somebody’s pocket.

Might have to do that, cheers for the help mate
