I've found a used 980 G1 for 450€ ( it usually goes for 650+ in Europe) . It's fresh out of RMA , 34 months of warranty left , the catch is that it's got coil whine. Should i go for it? At that price it's a steal , or should i wait for AMDs' new cards?

CPU : i5-8600k , Motherboard: Aorus Z370 Ultra Gaming , RAM: G.skill Ripjaws 16GB 3200mhz ,GPU : Gigabyte 1070 G1 ,Case: NZXT Noctis 450 ,Storage : Seagate 1TB HDD , Seagate Barracuda 2TB, Samsung 860 EVO 500GB , KINGSTON SHFS37A/240G HYPERX FURY 240GB  , PSU : Corsair RM 750X , Display(s) : LG Flatron W2243S , Dell U2715H , Cooling: Coolermaster Hyper 212x Evo, Keyboard: Coolermaster Rapid-i , Drevo Tyrfing Black , Coolermaster Masterkeys Pro S, Mouse : Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum , Windows 10

Depends upon whether or not u get annoyed by coil whine. If it doesn't bug you that much then I'd go for it.

I would spend 200 more and get a 980ti instead.

Also, prices on the 980 should drop soon because of the TI release.

Well , my 670 has some coil whine , and i thought coil whine had something to do with your PSU as well?

get it, spend some of the saved money on a water cooler :)

I thought the G1 ran pretty cool :P

It depends both upon the specific GPU and your PSU as well. Some PSU's may make it worse or not as bad.
