for 300 bucks that doesn't sound bad.
my computer has 2x as bad specs and we've paid over 800 euro back when we got it (2002, back then it was still awesome :D).

Built a computer recently that trumps that for $275CDN. After conversion of dollars and the difference, I could have bought something better than an 8800.

Ok.

But you asked if it's a good buy. I just told you i've seen better and without much work.

Sorry for busting your bubble; no need to justify.
