First check if the card has been used for heavy mining or if the BIOS has been modified. Ask for screen shot of GPU-Z from seller.
If everything is good and warranty checks out, it's a pretty good deal.

Full hd monitor and only gaming? Not worth it unless your monitor refresh rate is high.. unless u go up in screen refresh rate or resolution 1070ti i think is more than enough

I don't think miners will be stupid enough to sell their GPU with mining firmware still in tact unless they are honest people who will actually advertise it as an ex-mining card.

No. Use current gpu, saving more money and get 1180 by the end of this year.
