What should I get?

Hello to anyone reading this, I am wondering about picking up a new GPU and deciding to get a sapphire rx580 nitro+ or an Asus 1060 6gb, but some other people on the build log topic told me it would be smarter to buy a used 1070 and found this one listed here 

 

https://m.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-GeForce-GTX-1070-8gb-Rog-STRIX-OC-Edition/113161762026?epid=1676881777&hash=item1a58f774ea%3Ag%3A9QAAAOSwhjNbU92n&_nkw=1070&LH_ItemCondition=3000&LH_BIN=1&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_RPA=1

 

im trying to find one that hasn’t been mined on or been used to much which will last me a while if I do go with a used 1070. Also would this be a steal?

For a strix card that's a pretty good price. Not a steal, but lower than MSRP.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

That's a real good price for a strix 1070 I'd get that over the other two.

Keep a search going for 1070's and 1070 ti's. The ones with the best prices go fairly quickly so if you search a little longer you might be able to find a better deal when it gets posted. For example I recently sold an EVGA 1070 Hybrid for $350 on eBay because I didn't want to wait and there are others doing the same thing. I imagine you might even find someone selling a 1080 for around $400 used. So if you can wait a couple days then you will eventually find a better and hopefully a better card.

I was on his other thread, and I think $400 for the GPU will be out of budget.

Ahhh, well hopefully he can find someone selling a Hybird. I based my low price off of similar prices sold on them. And those things are super quiet and stay very cool.

These were probably mining cards, but I wouldn't be too concerned.

If they were mining cards would that affect the life span or performance of the actual card or my Gaming sessions?

I don't think you will see any difference being that they are hybrid water cooled and stay low temperature. But the first link I posted was an EVGA refurbished model the guy never installed and that one was a little cheaper. I wouldn't be worried buying either of them. And you could always message the guy selling the multiples to see what he actually did with them.
