Wow, I hadn't realized how bad it's gotten in the GPU market lately. I haven't tried to build a gaming PC in a long time, so I've been out of touch with that stuff.

It's a crazy topsy turvy world where these cards are being used as coprocessors for cryptocurrency mining instead of gaming. Wow, a graphics card that literally prints money. No wonder they're being snatched up so quickly. The GPU manufacturers must be thrilled that their cards are being bought up in quantities far exceeding their original intended markets. Sucks to be a PC gamer these days though.

Is your goal to stabilize the system, or to make a good gaming computer? I'm wondering if there are lower-model GPUs you could find which would work well to stabilize the system, but which are no longer valued as mining cards.
