The issue with the newer cards is that they're quite expensive in my country. The reason being is that I live in NZ and the graphics card market is small enough here that people will still buy the better and more recent graphics cards for gaming. There is only one auction site and it has 300 listings (mostly filled with shitty, old cards). I saw a R9 270 go for $150 US the other day. Buying internationally is always a possibility although decent shipping is upwards of $50 for the larger cards if the seller would even ship internationally.
This is why I'm opting for the older cards that nobody particularly wants although I'm also wondering if there may be issues later on with compatibility with drivers and so on.
