Yeah but that GPU is $99 on sale and runs LoL and D3 at 80+ FPS on ultra with ease, plenty good enough.
I'd buy the 270X you are selling but I don't really see the benefit/point even for just another $10, how used is it?

Unless you're streaming, buying the 8320 instead of a better GPU would be foolish.
I know the 260x will not be an issue for those two games, but are you really building a PC for just those two games? Maybe it's just my own habits making me question this, since I burn out on games arbitrarily.
In the world of used PC hardware, there are essentially two conditions: "working perfectly" and "unacceptable." For GPUs, there is no measurable lifespan when it's run well within average operating conditions. The card was used for mining cryptocurrency since it was purchased in January, and the temperature stayed under 70C and the fans at around 40%, in a closed case with filtered fans and no overclock or voltage modifications. It could run for years under those conditions and be obsolete before it started to show signs of degradation.
