    How about this. A little over budget. Maybe I can save somewhere?

    €1000 is £880

    So the 2070 Super is out of your price range.
    Choose between RTX 2060 SUPER or RX 5700 / 5700 XT.

    Also drop that SSD - the Samsung 970 is not necessary for gaming lol
    Also don't worry about adding SSDs/HDDs - they only take 5-10W each.

    I'm not sure. I have a 500 euro one for all voucher which means I need to buy from somewhere like pc world. So not great for value. With this voucher I want to get monitor and headset and keyboard mouse.

    Thanks a lot. Do you think there is a massive difference in performance between the two cards?

    Good article which prompted me to research more. What about Ray tracing etc?

    Hi

    You can redeem the one4all card for cash - you need to pay €8 to do this. For your voucher that might make sense.

    See https://www.one4all.ie/terms-condition

    If it's a BIK tax exemption one, you can't redeem it for cash. Which I'm guessing it is given the amount. I'm actually in the same position trying to buy a gfx card with one.

    (I tried before - rang them to be sure, gave them the card number, they confirmed I could redeem it. Then after I posted it to them they rang back to say they couldn't and posted it back to me.

    Makes sense, but a bit annoying they couldn't tell me up front.)

    Os there even a brick and mortar option for buying cards now? I think oneforall are capped to 50, when doing a web purchase.
