Upgrading PC

[Heeelix]

First of all, is buying a used GPU a good idea

 

if yes should I buy a GeForce GTX 1070 8GB ROG STRIX for 360 CAD$ or a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G for 780 CAD$ 

(Both are used 1 year)

I want my  PC to run games at ultra settings 1440p and 60fps minimum and I want it to be futureproof for the next 5 years

I'm upgrading because I have a I am tired of playing on low settings with a GTX 950 and I can afford a upgrade (800$ is okay for me)

I have a i7-6700

Edit: it isn't a 1070ti   and what cpu I have

[lmeneses]

buying a used gpu is fine as long as you buy it from a seller that ensures money back guarantees and such (like ebay), and get the 1070ti

The 1070ti cause holy crap the 1080ti isn't 2x better. It is just as good as a stock 1080 and if it costs so much less right now, the 1070ti is amazing used.

1070ti is a much better deal, but it wont being doing 1440p 60fps ultra settings in the next 5 years. Heck, I dont think it can even do it for 2 years.

@Heeelix

well since you have a GTX 950, i'm more concerned what CPU you're using.

 

and there's nothing wrong with buying a used GPU

oh okay you're good  i would say a GTX 1080 Ti if you really want those Ultra settings, even though i think they're useless.

 

but if you don't mind dropping some settings to find a sweet spot, then a GTX 1070 Ti or 1080
