If I was about to give up trying to buy a gpu for a reasonable price, what should I look for on ebay?

I saw some 3060s for like 800 bucks 😬


I just built a new 5600x rig that has a GT710 that I pulled from my old rear end pc.

If money is no object, an RTX 3090

That's a bit too rich for me.

My entire new build cost about 1100 bucks.

I guess the most I'd want to spend is like 1000 dollars. That seems like a lot too.

Is a ~800 dollar 3060 the best "value" as far as performance for overpriced dollar?

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Sadly the closest microcenter is almost 3 hours away from me.

I think I might try posting a thread in SA Mart.

All I see is power supplies. Did they sell out that quick?

I managed to get a 3060 from today's shuffle.

I am shocked.


Finally gonna have a decent computer.

What cool games have I missed in the last ~7 years on PC?

Ok, I have a ton of games to buy apparently! Thank you!

Any big rear end monitor recommendations?

I'm currently on a Samsung 24" thing from like 10 years ago that's 1080p@ 60hz. It's basically a TV not a computer monitor.


Was looking at those big 34" curved monstrosities. The Gigabyte one seems like a good deal for price/performance.


I should probably go look and see if there is a monitor thread.

I think I am giving up on getting a gpu.

I won a shuffle last week and UPS delivered it somewhere else in my apartment complex and someone else signed for it.

What's the point of having a signature for delivery if you let anyone sign for it? The name signed is clearly not mine.

My credit card is refunding me at least.
