6000 or 7000 series amd cards

bad

#

low quality and probably ruined

not necessarily. you need to be careful about not buying something that says 'parts only' or 'non working'

My first PC was entirely used parts and I built it entirely for less than $150

#

Again less than a year ago

#

I built that for like $130ish? Entirely used parts

wtf it looks so cool

I'm not sure I'd choose a 1080 over a 9060 8GB card but there may be some bargains to be found if you look. In the same price range of 9060 you can get a much more capable used card. I'm seeing a few working 3080ti on ebay for around $180 current bid

Id say look at used 6000 and 7000 series AMD cards

#

Specifically ones with more than 12gb vram

#

12 or more

#

also i am not sure if a cpu cooler is neccesary for this

nocturne isle
#

I can guarantee a cpu cooler is necessary for a cpu πŸ™‚

9600X does not include in-box cooler

There are some CPUs that do include them, though, so it is something to be mindful of. If stepping down to Ryzen 9600 (no X) there is a cooler in box that is competent. However I'm not sure they are still actually making them? bonkers pricing on all of these if I go looking. Wild. https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/ecosystem/cpu-cooler-solutions.html Ryzen 7 5700 is actually a really solid deal but it's for AM4 platform and that limits future upgrades. It probably makes more sense to spend more on am5 platform and upgrade GPU later.
