Define "use". If you keep it at idle, you might be able to use it. If you OC it and use it 24/7: bad idea.

 

Because the fan blade is broken, it's not balanced. It's like a vibrator, and it will vibrate at least your GPU. Will most likely vibrate your mobo/other parts, which isn't good. Will most likely make lots of noise when it's spinning.

 

My advice: if it's really cheap, buy it. Remove the damaged fan, and zip-tie a 80x80 or 120x120 fan to the side. (make sure you remove the broken fan, because it might spin up due to the other/external fan, causing it to act like a generator, pushing a current into your GPU/computer)
