Hi, I am planning to visit the US in a few weeks and usually I tend to buy electronics (whether I need them badly or not ) because they are easily bought online, cheaper then my place, and I can find usually used, refurbished or other types of deals.
I was planning to build an HTPC Gaming ATX (or micro ATX) case for a living room so that my 8 years old child can play some games ( he wont understand 1080p or 720p or fps) much.
My TV is 1080p. I had a GTX 560Ti that I got for USD 45 lately and it seemed like a good deal. I was planning to put that in it. alongside an i3 2100 that I had lying around, an SSD, and a one stick of 4GB Gskill ram.
I am stumbling around many used graphics cards (or new) for what it seems good prices (but you can know better):
Example:
- R9 290x for USD 260 Used.
- GTX 690 for around USD 400 used (but dont prefer dual GPU
- 7990 for around 360
Should I make use of these deals (or are they normal).. and is it better to save the money and let my child play around with that 560ti for now at 1080p or 720p)?
