I bought Gigabyte RTX 5070 OC @ ₹79k
I recently built a gaming PC on a budget last month and was still looking for a GPU.
My build:
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Gigabyte B850M Gaming X WiFi6E
Gigabyte Windforce OC RTX 5070
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 6000MHz CL36 (will add another stick later)
Corsair 850W PSU
Arctic Freezer 36
Cooler Master Qube 540
I was originally planning to buy the Zotac RTX 5070 OC because of its 5-year warranty, but I was being quoted ₹1.05–1.10 lakh, which was way over my budget. Most sellers also didn’t want to sell the GPU separately.
While casually browsing OLX, I found someone selling a Gigabyte Windforce RTX 5070 for ₹85K. Negotiated and got it for ₹79K.
I honestly thought it might be a scam at first. 😂
The card was purchased by the seller in May 2026 for ₹67K, is barely used, and he was selling it because he upgraded to an RTX 5070 Ti.
I guess a ~15% performance increase is still an upgrade, although I’m not sure I’d personally call it a worthwhile one.
Best part: original invoice + around 3 years of warranty remaining until 2029.
I met the seller, tested the card properly, checked everything, and thankfully everything was working perfectly.
Considering the prices I was getting for a new 5070, I think I got pretty lucky with this one. 😄
Also, I originally wanted a DeepCool CH160 Plus/Qube 500 but couldn’t find either, so I went with the Qube 540. I’ll probably switch to the CH160 Plus later and sell this case if anyone’s interested.
How would you rate my setup?
