Hello. Longtime reader for over 10 years but I am finally posting. My GTX 670 is starting to struggle in newer games and games I mod with texture packs/ENB. My wife has always been okay with me upgrading my PC components every three to five years as she wants me to keep hobbies in married life with kids.
My dilemma is I want to definitely get Pascal so it might be difficult to justify buying a 970/980 now and then Pascal next year. I need something to hold me over while TRYING to stay in the $150 to $250 range. I run an i5-2500k, 8GB RAM, 830 SSD and I think I am okay with those for now.
I was thinking of trying to find a used 970 but dont know if they go for that low used. Should I just play some older games I have in my backlog and wait for Pascal to play the newer stuff? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
