That is good price compared to where crypto have forced prices to be. But in the bigger picture, that is only about MSRP, so no, not a particularly good price. I'd wait to see what GTX1100 series would bring at this point. Some people say those will be announced July 30th. So buying anything now is significant gamble.

Personally if it is a option you should wait to buy a month or 2 I have heard a few places that there may be a gpu price drop coming in the near future due to a large shipment being sent back unsold but that’s just hearsay so don’t take my word on it
