GTX 960 second hand worries

[unknownmercyy]

HI, i found a gtx strix 960 2gb rly cheap like 120 eur but it was used for 3D model rendering and projects..

Should i worrie about it?

Barely based on the price not. Rendering does no harm to the card.
Ask the seller if you can try the card before buying! Ask if it has coil whine or cooling problems! Even if you can not travel there refusing a test run may mean the deal is cheesy.

The seller is not in my home town and it will be sent to my office. He told me that the card is like brand new and used for 3d gfx.. bought in 2014 without any issues running till now.. what should i do ..

Private sellers are not obligated to give warranty. You can still ask if you may return the card within a week if you happen to have problems with it. It costs the seller nothing and you still get a guarantee, that it runs.

Okay, i will buy it then. Hope i get a nice card.. i was planning of getting 750to but i think 960 will be much better?

Yes, the 960 performs better than a 750. Write a short update once you got the card
