I'm considering buying an RX 5700 XT 8GB for $95. The seller claims it has no issues and comes with the original box. Is this a solid deal worth going for?

That's actually a pretty sweet deal! You could think of it as similar to an RX 6600 for that price. While it might struggle a bit with some of the latest games, it should handle nearly everything else just fine—with a few tweaks to settings, you can really enhance your experience.
Looking at eBay, these cards usually go for around $150-200 plus shipping, so it sounds like a steal. I've had mine since launch, and it's been great for most older games at 1080p, hitting around 144fps. Even new games typically run smoothly at 60fps+, aside from a few hiccups in heavy load areas. If you're on a budget and want something reliable, I'd say go for it! Just keep in mind if you're aiming for 1440p gaming soon, you might want to hold out for something newer.
How long do you think it’ll hold up? I mostly play story-driven games like RDR2.
