money, computer 

Well, we've ordered a graphics card now. An EVGA dual-fan 1060 6GB for $280. I wish we could have gotten it a bit cheaper, but prices don't seem to be dropping much and the price on this was about to go back up to $300 tomorrow.

There's a small amount of worry that tomorrow they're going to start a new, even better sale, but... Better to know we'll get it for a decent price than chance being able to get it for an amazing price, I suppose.

EVGA has a very good reputation for their customer service, and their warranty seems very good. I think that's worth the extra money over the Gigabyte card we were looking at, where several reviews complained about poor customer service.
