There is a guy who's offering his Inno3D HerculeZ X1 GTX 970 for 150$, it looks clean but is it worth buying?

It's not exactly a bad deal, for 150 you could get a rx 470 but the gtx 970 is slightly faster and Maxwell still is fully supported by nVidia... at least until Volta arrives.

you can get a rx480 4gb for that price on sale. unless you are playing older games i suggest a rx480. 

this, 480 4GB ASUS Dual was $150 yesterday, which is faster and has 512MB more memory (3.5GB vs 4GB)

idk

look for deals and sales, those offers don't last long, rx480 usually is a very hard card to find in stock.
