Go to solution Solved by K i a r a,

That is always a Option.

 

Stay a way from Buying Used GPUs off of Ebay, You dont know what they were used for / how long they have been used for.

 

Could have been Ran 24/7 for mining.

Id say stick to buying New.

Hello guys im about to buy an MSI Trident 3 8700 i7, 1070 gtx

 

https://www.amazon.com/Trident-Arctic-8RD-002US-i7-8700-VR-Ready/dp/B07BDH2QRX/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1530296735&sr=1-4&keywords=trident+3

 

My plan is to buy that pc, sell the msi 1070 gtx, for like $250 put $250 more and buy a Gigabyte gtx 1080 

 

Specs: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Graphics-Card/GV-N1080IX-8GD#kf

Price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX-1080-Mini-ITX-8GB-GDDR5-VR-Ready-Graphics-Card/142846968241?hash=item214257c1b1:g:a54AAOSwk8RbNFlm

 

I know it´ll fit, but my question is: Will it work? 

I´m a noob when it comes to building or upgrading PC´s, please help me people :D
