Is a GTX 970 for 150 euros a good deal?

Do you guys think a used Asus GTX 970 strix is a good value for 150 euros?
The cheapest 3gb 1060s cost around 190 here and I don't want to spend that much, I know the 6gb ones are better but they are also much more expensive.

I would say so. As long as it doesn't have something wrong with it. I bought a Strix GTX 970 on Ebay and it had a clicking noise with one of the fans. I was able to RMA it because it hadn't been 3 years on the warranty and the GTX 10 series wasn't out yet. No proof of purchase was necessary. I simply said the date of purchase was the date I bought it on Ebay. :/

But if you can RMA it that would be great. Not sure how that would work since they've been out just over 3 years.

Overclocked the GTX 970 is as fast as a GTX 1060 6GB or GTX 980.

I can choose from two versions, one is an asus strix and an asus turbo edition. Which one would you suggest is better?

Definitely the Strix.

Hands down the Strix. I've got a Strix 970 sitting at 124% OC for the last 3 years and it's quiet unless I stress test it. Really good card.
