I would probs get the 6700 xt new instead. or try and find it used since it would be better for the money

But that card is also fine for the money. I think you could maybe pull the trigger on it

Just remember to do some stuff from ltts last vid

 

I'm wondering if it's worth purchasing a used "RTX 3070 Master Aorus 8GB". The price of the card is 320 euros(I live in Lithuania). The seller said that he has used the card for gaming for approximately 1,5 years. The description of the card was in Lithuanian so I hope I did my best translating: "The video card works fine, it has never been disassembled and nothing has been changed or repaired, there are no defects. Tested with the FurMark program, the test was done for 40 minutes, the temperature, the speed of the cooler, and the work of the video card is stable." Is it worth the money? Or Should I ask more questions?

Seems like a good deal to me. I'd probably go for it. If you can pay with Paypal I'd go that route, or if you want a little piece of mind you could even ask him to post it on eBay and buy it that way, though you'd probably have to offer a little more to cover the costs of doing it.
