I found an open box 9060 XT 8GB at Microcenter for $239. I want to know if this is a good price. I'm specifically looking for a decent AMD graphics card that works well with Linux, and possibly for some gaming too. Any insights would be appreciated!

You're getting a $50 discount compared to the lowest price I've seen on PCPartPicker, which is a sweet deal! Just keep in mind that if you can, the 16GB version would be a better option for future-proofing.
One thing to consider is the risk of coil whine since it’s an open box item. Make sure you have a return option just in case it doesn't work out. But otherwise, for that price, it's a great find!
Haha, that's true! At my age, I can't even hear coil whine anymore! Those old CRT monitors had a different kind of noise I remember well.
Good point! How much is the 16GB version going for around here?
