      @@SKIPTHEAD I assume these guys are blowing smoke for their viewers. They run a PC shop. I build as a hobby and I buy 1660 supers and 1070s for $50 all the time. Last week I picked up a 10850K full system with a 3080 ti for 400 and a 3600 system with 1660S for $100(ok those kinds of deals are rare), but yesterday I got a 5900x system with no GPU for $300. These are the kinds of deal you can get if you pay attention and are just a little patient. If these guys are paying the prices they show off in these videos.....

    I got an MSI 1060 6GB about a month ago for 35€. It had a faulty fan so I bought a new pair from eBay for another 10€. After 20-30 minutes of cleaning and replacing the fans it's like new an for a total of 45€ I have a very decent backup GPU. Some of my friends/colleagues up until last summer would have wished to have a GPU like the 1060 6GB

      Buying online is a risk always. A working GPU can get damaged in shipping. But if you're buying from a good seller with shipping experience you'll be just fine. I took a risk with an rx580 4gb for $45 plus tax and fees. Seller shipped it in a bubble mailer and I'm surprised the board didn't snap in shipping. Bracket came in bent but that was simple fix. Card is 100% working. I would recommend you buy from someone you can communicate with. Ask good questions. When was the last time the card was used? What games did you play on it? How much fps did you pull? If seller can't answer those questions I would walk away. Also buying on a platform that allows returns is a must. Don't buy as is.

    1660x2 is better. The gain in x4 or x3 are marginal at best.

    Pretty sure you can get better performance today out of a 8600g than using this combo.

    you can get 1070's on ebay for ~75, and 1080's for ~90, i would have gone with a 1070 just for the extra 2 gb of vram
    the pc build is hilarious, everything is bulky and the gpu is the only part out of place, its understandable though to see the gpu bottleneck

      Agree the 1070 and 1080 seems like better options for only a little more, especially the 1070 seems like a no brainer if you want to keep costs down.
