Great. If possible, post what you are thinking of ordering here so we can give input. There are enough people who know about hardware here to help pick the right parts.
Everything I see says that it's a bad time to be buying a graphis card. AMD are kicking ass at the moment - and their shared memory concept for the new cards and new processors is looking likely to be a big deal. Demand for new PC kit is high due to people working from home. Even old graphics cards are settling for much higher prices now than they were 6 months ago.
You can't even get bargains from China at the moment. The second hand RX 580 8GB I bought for under £84 last year is now selling for a minimum of £168.12 on Aliexpress.

Will do, chap. Thanks for the link - will check out alternatives.

That is a very interessting aspect. I happen to have a surplus graphic card on hand (Nvidia something 970 something) because I inherited a Nvidia something 1070 something and I might swap those out.
My only issue is that, in CONTRAST (piggy ;)) to kops I have not done any research about computer parts for nearly a decade now. So I might just lurk around and try to learn from this thread.

One of these? https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-970.c2620
My old card was a GTX 960 and it's now in my boy's machine. He really could do with something a little faster. What do you want for it? :P
