Is this a good refurbished gtx 970 deal?

Hi, I'm wondering if it's worth buying this refurbished MSI Gaming 4G on Tegra through Amazon. It's 50$ cheaper and I'm a little tight on budget.

It comes with a 6 month warranty from the manufacturer, so it should be fine.

Save only $50 on a card that already had a problem, doesn't seem like a deal to me.

Same card on NewEgg is $349 (339 with rebate), plus you get a free game with it, and a 3 year warranty.

No it is not. You can get new GTX 970 gpu for a few bucks more. A new one has the full warranty and also has the game codes.

I'd say the game code and extended warranty alone is worth the small extra you're paying for a new card.

Refurb and used 970's are only worth it if they are below 270USD and if they really work.

Ok, lets review this. On Amazon (link you provided) you can get a MSI GTX 970 Refurbished for $299.99. As we all know refurbished means that the card already had problems and was returned, repaired, and now being resold for only $20 off? Would you buy a salvage title car for less than 10% off? Yes, you can get a larger warranty but why should you have to? After you spend the extra money on the warranty, you are back to a NEW CARD price...so why not go new?

I just got this card from Newegg a few weeks back, with their list price, continued sale, and mail-in-rebate; the card only costs about $320 after the mail-in-rebate which is the same you would pay for the refurbished on with the extra warranty. Furthermore, this is a better edition of the card in my opinion as the clock speed is increased and a better cooler system with the Gigabyte Windforce.

Above is the link to the card on Newegg, overall it will be the same price, a better card, and brand new.
