It kind of is now with the prices.
I paid almost that for an 8800 GT back in late 07/early 08. That was just under the 8800 GTX and Ultra.

Due to the limitations on the mobo you might be best served by just saving up a little longer to get a new machine with at least an i7, NVME M.2 SSD and maybe an NVidia RTX 2060 (6GB).
Going within your restictions though, up the video card to the 2060 (around $350) and bumping up your RAM to 16Gb (and faster speed, no idea what speed your RAM is).
Initially I was going to suggest an NVME, but it doesn't look like your board supports it.

That's the exception though. 1080 Ti was only $700. The 980 Ti was only $650.
Technically, the top end right now is $2500.

But if he wants Lupo's setup, what is he looking at?

That price range is dead and gone with the RTX line. 2080 TI is 1200 which is the 1080ti successor.
A 1660ti is 280 which isn't much less than the RTX 2060. It's the low end of the line so it's the budget line.

Again, it's the exception and not the rule. This is exactly what happened with the 8800 Ultra.

2080 ti - 1200
2080 - 800
2070 - 600
2060 - 350
1660ti - 280
590 - 280
That's not an exception. That's what they are.
280-350 is the budget lineup.
I'm not saying it's cheap. I'm saying it's the budget option in new cards.
I guess you can technically say the $350 isn't the budget because it's not the lowest but it is on the lower side.

Except the 1650 is coming out next month for $180. That's the budget option.
Nvidia went full potato with 2080 Ti pricing. The 1080 Ti was only $50 more than the 980 Ti and it was launched at the same price ($700) as the 780 Ti.

Let's just agree to buy the used GTX models lol
Posted on 2/26/19 at 12:51 pm to Hu_Flung_Pu
There's also a "regular" 1660 coming out next month for around $230.

Used GTX, used GTX

I was still rocking a Core 2 Duo E8400 with a GTX 260 and Windows XP until a couple of years ago.
