GPU upgrade, weird 750ti models on Ebay.

Hello everyone, so I've decided to buy a better GPU and I've believe that GTX 750 TI is pretty good one for the price of about 40$. I know it's gonna make bottleneck with my current setup (which you can check out on my profile) but I think it's good investment and upgrade since currently I am using GT 430. If you believe that I should get a different GPU, please let me know I would appreciate it.
I was looking at the Ebay and saw this one: 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/fur-GTX750-Ti-GDDR5-192Bit-PCI-Express-Video-Grafikkarte-Lufter-CD-Treiber-1GB/142627043452?hash=item21353bf87c:g:PSIAAOSw9idaHk1j
It looks sketchy to me since there's no brand mentioned and on pictures as well. I've took my time to do a research and saw that some Ebay sellers do sell fake GPU-s with chip "upgraded", but I have no idea if this one might be "fake" since I saw a lot of same products on Ebay selling from people which have very high positive feedback. It does say in description "Warm Tips: GPU chip is second development." which I don't quite understand.
My question is, should I really buy that specific GPU model from Ebay? I apologize in advance if I am asking this question in wrong section since it's more related with Ebay than New Builds and Planning.
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to all of you <3

No harm in getting it, they have really high ratings, and its covered by money back guarantee. If it isn't a 750ti, they will refund you and you can keep the card

I've seen a video on a card like this and it was an older card with a BIOS flash or something making windows think it was a 750Ti, I'd stay clear of these and just try to bid on one even if that means going a few dollars over your budget.

This is the same video I've been talking about. I guess it would get many newbies.
