Just found one on Newegg's ebay account for $240.

That worth pulling the trigger on?
ETA: Bestbuy is going to price match

Idk about the benchmarks of the new Ryzen 2200G/2400G integrated Vega GPUs, but that might be another route you consider instead of paying for an overpriced 1050ti.
THen you could snatch up a 2060/2070 on launch day in a few Months when Nvidia releases their new cards.

Get a 960 instead. It's faster than a 1050 Ti and will save $.

You sure? Maybe so but think the 1050 Ti is just slightly faster at stock clocks. So now it comes down to if you want to save $50-$100 now or have the following options available to you moving forward.
1.Quicker driver support for the 1050 Ti overr 960. Pascal is the latest architecture, it will get optimized over Maxwell. Now fast forward 2-3months when rumored "Ampere/Turing" is launched. It will now be 3 generations old. nVidia is notorious for dropping non-critical driver support for older architectures.
2. Higher OC ceiling for the 1050 Ti over the 960. They might perform similar at stock clocks but the 1050 Ti can hit an 1850-1900 OC with ease.

I appreciate all of the help. I went with the 1050 ti. I can send the 1050 that my drunk arse ordered last night back for a refund once it gets here.

What are some good, affordable joystick options out there? I'm wrong handed as well, not sure if that makes a difference. Thrustmaster seems to be the most popular?

I've seen a lot of good stuff about the Logitech X56. I think I saw some used ones in the $150 range
That's really the only one I know of

Some replies on Twitter say thrustmaster as well. I’ll look at both, I’ll have to install BF again to get the hang of it before BF2018 releases

How much is BF3 right now? I’d love to jump back on that game.
Posted on 3/6/18 at 7:58 am to brucevilanch
Cant wait for you to rage on BF2018
Also, this Thrustmaster is supposedly only $40 elsewhere but I can get it in two days from Amazon soooooo

Like $5 or something. You can get the premium edition for like $10 or something. It's super cheap.
