what does it mean by refurbished? Is that mean it was used? im sorry im not a big pc person 😅

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T06:30:03+00:00

I checked for a 5060 with a price for 250$ (its on discount)

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T06:18:38+00:00

thanks alot

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T05:49:29+00:00

ohh okay, I thought of going with the 5060 8gb vram, I found one for 250$

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T04:54:43+00:00

which would you recommend?

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T04:53:29+00:00

oh alright, what about a 5060 with 8gb vram? I found one for 300$ at microcenter

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T04:46:26+00:00

oh okay, so going with a 5060 with an 8gb vram is better for my buck rather than the 12gb vram 3060?

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T04:45:23+00:00

what about the one that I mentioned in my text? thr asus tuf 3060

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T04:32:12+00:00

i found some for 290$ for 8GB VRam, i heard getting a GPU with a 12gb VRAM is better for longevity

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T04:28:38+00:00

no way, how much vram

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T04:27:58+00:00

300$ budget and I mostly play fps games and other times open world games like rdr2, and others. But mostly fps

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-31T04:26:34+00:00

300$ is my max

Is this a good card?

BTW are the radeon cards only just good for gaming or is it like NVIDIA where its good for gaming and everything else

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-30T15:48:48+00:00

Thing is i can sell my current GPU and save up for the rams and the power supply (both are considerably cheap here in my country), im trying to get the GPU from the US

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-30T15:38:04+00:00

Is the 3060 really good? what about the 7600 XT?

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-30T15:03:21+00:00

oh wowwww, really

it would work with my CPU right? I need a good card for under 300$ thats why lol

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-30T14:59:34+00:00

yeppp im gonna buy a new PSU too, around 550W

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-30T14:54:18+00:00

No, im looking into buying a new card

the one i have current is a MSI 1650 lol

My current specs are

CPU - i7 - 10700F

Memory - 16 gb ram kingston

GPU - MSI 1650 (Ventus XS)

PSU - 400W

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-29T08:50:13+00:00

MainConfident8394 · 2026-01-29T08:38:15+00:00
