so i been looking for a gtx 1070 for my new rig and well new ones are quite expensive. i thought of going on ebay and i seen some gtx 1070 for around 450 and some for even 400. is this legit?does anyone have any experience with this?

I'd just look at their sell reputation and their reviews. Worst case scenario open up a dispute if the card is a flop (you could do this both with ebay and paypal if you used paypal to purchase the gpu).

My Main PC:

CPU: i5 3570k CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4 Motherboard: Asus p8z77-v pro  RAM: Crucial Balistic 2x4gb  GPU: Two PNY GTX 680's in SLI Case: Some rando Antec one  PSU: Thermaltake 1000w  Display: HP Elite Display 321i 23''  Storage: Samsung 840 Evo 128gb, Seagate Barracuda 1tb

These are often scams. Do not buy GPU's on Ebay, especially if the price seems much better than usual. If you are in the US, you can pick up a 1070 direct from Nvidia for $400 with free shipping. You may have to wait a week or two for the card to come into stock, but they are coming into stock and are available on a fairly regular basis now.
