Subject to change of course and reserve rights not to sell yada yada

i5 4690k CPU (this is about 3 years old or so, still works fine)
250gig Samsung SSD (one of the most recent evo models)
Zotac GTX 1070 Amp Edition (only bought it last august)
Corsair air 540 case (has great cable management and airflow)

All in good nick, just a bit dusty - not sure on prices for the cpu, ssd or case yet but the GTX 1070 I'm thinking £380 ish range, brand new it retails for £470 currently.

Sheesh, have 1070s gone up in price? I paid £333 for mine last August.

All gpu prices are batshit crazy right now. Ethereum mining :/ It'll end in a couple of months once it becomes unprofitable on 580s/480s but until then. rip.

There's been a switch to Nvidia for 2 reasons. Firstly, you can't get a RX 570/580 for love nor money and secondly there's a fear that the hashrate of some of the AMD cards is going to drop a bit as the size of the file that gets put into the VRAM increases as more and more blocks are found. Basically, everything that can mine Ethereum is either out of stock or expensive as fuck right now. I've actually seen the 1070 with a higher price than the 1080 because GDDR5X (1080) doesn't perform as well for mining as GDDR5 (1070).

I was looking to buy a new card as an upgrade but I've decided to stick with my Radeon 7850, and only upgrade the other stuff for now, until prices become more sensible.
