Not at all. 80% of the GPUs I've purchased (if not more) have been used, and all of the really pricey ones have ended up working out just fine.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Don’t see why it would only last 2 years? Bought 3 used 7 series cards. Sold one but they all performed flawlessly. The 2 I still have are my daily drivers.

760 is a pretty good card. It slides in between the 1050 and 1050ti (I believe). It's a good 20% better than the 750ti, which a lot of people still use. The issue with used is risk of getting scammed, no warranty, etc. not so much the performance.
