TBH for the price difference I think the performance jump from the 570 to the 580 is worth it. Linked you a 480 (the 580 is just a refreshed 5% better 480.) For $202 cad shipped.

The 150 for a 570 is decent though If that fits your budget better

the 580 sold lol. 480 is there, but looks like theres hefty fees? 177+30+30

also, difference between the two links i posted is the first is used, 2nd is still sealed.

do you have anything against the powercolor brand at all?

yes they considered low tier and difficult to deal with support but that doesn't really apply with a used card.

/edit
If your going used you might as well look at kijiji over ebay imo.
Lot of local broke hurting mofo's right now cause covid.

i see. im just getting impatient with this eh. just waiting to see if that guy selling the one for $150 still has it

i have a video card from march 2015 i havent had any issues with it

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 OC Wf 1279MHZ 2GB 7.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI 3XDISPLAYPORT PCI-E Video Card

was $250 at the time. im sure this powercolor one is much better than the one im using lol. probably going to get it...i can pick it up today

i looked at kijiji a bit searching radeon rx 480. got fuck alls. facebook marketplace seems to have a lot, thats were i got the two i linked

Yeah facebook market place is an option, personally I don't have or use facebook though.
I wouldn't limit your search to only a 480 though, that's probably your bigger issue.
Just get something that is as good as or better then a 480 for same price point.

this site can be used to give you an idea on performance...

lol. what i ordered vs what i ordered is a big yikes...
maybe ill buy it for him, then wait to see if stock will ever return. i need to get him something for now so he can play during covid...buy it now, resell later for half the price to try and salvage anything

the two that i posted can be used with what i have correct?

don't do that, that aorus mobo has one of the worst vrm cooling. Last i heard is they fixed it, but it's still meh. The tomahawk has better vrm cooling, but these don't matter as much if you're not OCing but the aorus is more expensive, so no point doing that to yourself.

also the aorus built in wifi has a 1x1 controller so it won't be as fast as your TPlink. Also has less fan headers 4 vs 6, but it has one more m.2 slot than the toma.

as for GPU, because of limited supplies i'd just get a 1070ti since u toronto ppl tryin to be selling 1660s for like 600 lol

580 if u really want that

lol at 580 saying used only a few hours whilst in mining rig...

you think i should pay $200 more for those eh? that 1660s was supposed to be 300ish. i could always get it later on or upgrade to something better in a few years

that powercolor one is sealed still for 200. thinking of getting that unless you guys are really against it
