There's nothing wrong with the GPU, but $200 is too much for it, as it can be had for considerably cheaper than that:

$200 is also pushing too close to prices on a Radeon RX 590 or GeForce GTX 1660, either of which are a better card than an RX 580.

To be fair it depends on how much the RX 590 and GTX 1660 cost in his area. Ordering from newegg or similar sites might not be an option for some reason. I agree that those 2 are better cards though.

The RX 580 of course is a good mid tier card. I'm assuming it is an 8GB version.

It's a nice card, I recently bought one. 

If that's a good deal or not depends on where you live. Quiz gives good links for US comparables.

Yes 8Gb

One caveat is whether you're looking at a new or used card.  If it's a used card from some random stranger, then there's a good chance that it spent about a year of its life mining Ethereum around the clock, and that's a lot more wear and tear on the card than a normal gamer have done.  That's not a concern if you're buying a new card.
