I think it's fair considering it was almost new but without a warranty. New hits the $380 range sometimes.
Minor updates over the past 6 years. I am seriously in need of an overhaul.

Will probably replace it with whatever comes after the Pascal cards. 1080 is too expensive. 1070 and 1060 aren't enough of an upgrade to be worthwhile IMO.
I built it a long time ago and eventually stopped putting money into it. Plus I wasn't really gaming on PC like I had before. I had a PS3 and that was good enough. I'd like to come back to the master race though.

I remember my radeon 4870 1GB days. I would hear my video card fan from the next room over when the pc was running a game. that thing was ridiculous. And now in 2016, i have the geforce gtx 1080 with acx 3.0 cooler and the fan literally doesn't spin at idle.
Yeah modern video cards are very quiet. My current 980 Strix is semi-passive, meaning the fan often doesn't even run under load. My PSU is also semi-passive. I can't hear any noise from my PC unless I turn off the ceiling fan and listen closely. @hawk4x4 Maybe pick up an RX480? They're pretty cheap and it would give you something modern to use for now that you could transfer into a new PC when you build one. On NewEgg the 4GB is currently $189, and 8GB is currently $229.
That is what I'm leaning towards at the moment, but I'm waiting for my tax return, so we will see where the pricing is at when I get it. I think I can get by just updating the GPU for a bit, because not a lot of games seem out of my CPU's league.
Please.... I play all the latest games with my Intel GPU. Sometimes I have to downscale from 1280x1024. But I just found out my monitor is 19" and not 17" so I'm happy.
@supersonic Don't you have a pretty decent gaming PC with a Core i7 and some sort of semi-modern Radeon card that you've just been too lazy to unpack since you moved? It's hilarious to me that you keep passing out in Indian food comas and can't be bothered to unpack it.
I feel like I just put a shiny new engine in an old not-so-sporty car.

Yeah, that Phenom is going to drag you down if your gaming at 1080p. $129 Ryzen 1100 + $60 ASUS mobo and you'll probably be faster than my i5 which is still perfectly fine for gaming.
