Hello all, it's about time for me to do a full upgrade on my rig (about 5 years after building my now outdated rig). I got everything except for a video card and I'm looking to get something as good or better than 6950.
Anyway so after days of doing my homework on used and new prices of various GPU's, here are my options and how much i'm willing to drop on them:
1. 6950 2gb - Looking to spend between $200-$250 (PREFERABLY UNLOCKABLE)
2. 6970 2gb - Looking to spend between $250-$270
PRICE is dependent on the WARRANTY, brand, versions (reference, unlockable or not), OC'ability, and condition. Warranty is the biggest thing for me, so if you dont have it, then expect some low offers from me. Even though I have quite a tight budget to work with, but in reality, how many of us can stay within budget when it comes to building a new rig? So if you have a good card, even one that's not mentioned above, feel free to throw me an offer and I may take it or throw you an offer if I can justify the value.
Thanks for your time!
p.s. I've been on this forum for years, was a little more active back then when I was building/overclocking my old rig (hence my old outdated 5-yr-old system specs in my signature aha). My ebay account is mythek88 which has 100% positive feedbacks as a seller and buyer. Paypal address is confirmed and verified for over 5 years.
(Back when money was good, I was also part of a designer jeans forum, which used to be called honestforum.com. Now it has renamed itself to denimblog.com. Anyway, my profile with them still on there, mythek , and I had nothing but positive feedbacks. I even organized an international bulk order of clothes for other members which the total came out to be close to $2000. Everyone who was part of that has given me positive feedback because I did not jib them a dime.)
