those are insane prices, I'm very sorry you're in this position. almost everywhere else in the world, prices are driven down by people upgrading to current tech, like the 7000 series, which thne pushes down used 6000-series which then pushes down used 5000-series and so on, and also there being a plethora of old cards used for mining in the olden days that nobody wants to buy.
Little extra question tho, is there really no way that this 400W PSU could handle one of those? i mean, its TDP seems to be 150W, with the 77W from the i5, there's still bit left there till 400
oh, you can get away with a 350 W PSU if it's a good one, like one from a reputable brand. I was mentioning shitty 500 W PSUs as those are ubiquitous practically everywhere and cost next to nothing.
you'll see if you're ready to rock when you first turn it on, most of the GPUs have a LED near the power connector. if the PSU is adequate, the light is white. if it isn't, it's red.
Oooooh hold on, you said most GPUs have an LED, ok, now that makes more sense, misread that haha
