Is it worth long term damage to your credit for a $700 piece of hardware? For many, probably not.
these types of "rent-a-center" businesses don't exactly target people with credit scores that can be damaged much (it can only go so low), these are the kind of places people who are extremely irresponsible with their money go to get things because they literally have no other option.
A good GPU hasn't been $700 for a very long time.
Yeah, nowadays you can get a good gpu for under $350 (6700 xt)
