Is Galax reliable? What about the temperature?
The card costs 775$ The prices are high a bit in my country.
Can any one tell me his experience with this card?

Search for reviews.

NVIDIA recommends a 650W PSU for the RTX 3070.

Also you should upgrade that monitor.....

You are right ,but this is what I have for now and I will upgrade them later.
The budget is limited. Do you think that my psu can handle it?

Galax is owned by Palit, so not the “best” on the market, but I haven’t heard of any real problems regarding reliability or component choices.

As stated in the other thread, yes go for it, but fair warning, you will need a better PSU(650w minimum) to go with it.

I don' t want to lose this card as the prices above 900 for 3070 cards , at least I will buy it and keep it until I get a better psu.

You can use it with your current PSU, but here's the catch, you need to find a way to undervolt and underclock the card until you can replace your PSU. Don't run it full-throttle and you'll be ok for the short term.

What's the price of 2080 or 2080Ti in your place? Is it impossible to find. I'm not saying to buy it, but just to better understand your market
I want to know waiting a couple of months will make these Galaxes fly away or not.

No trouble at all, glad to help. Once you get your card, come back and show us how it runs. If you need to do some tweaking we can help you with that too!
