Hey all,

I'm getting a new comp with everything but a gpu. Does anyone know of any deals for decent GPUs for $200 or less? Only game I play is Overwatch here and there.
Also need two monitors for I'm hoping $200 total (so maybe around $100 each). Just need nice normal monitors nothing really super fancy. Just wanted some recommendations from you guys since you never steer me wrong and also seem to know the good deals

This is roughly your goal.
Can get slightly cheaper monitors I'd you're ok with 21.5" displays.

Those are 2 good monitor choice but i woudln't reccomand the R9 480.
Those are hot toaster and will push heat in your case like crazy, i've had one for a month and it did make me go crazy about temperature.
I'd wait till october 27th and buy a GTX 1050 with 4GB ram it's supossed to be under 200$

Mine used to be 80-85C at all time when 70-80% load and i had good air flow, guess you we're kinda lucky.
I read on reddit that the 80-85 is pretty normal temperature for the 480 but it's still pretty hot in a case.

Seems like RX 480 Nitro+ should be 74-76 gaming load. And about 79 stress testing. And 30ish idle
