I'd say go for it - 7800's are getting really hard to come by

 

[Sinistarr]

Definitely go for it. You could offload the extra hardware for most, if not all, of what you paid in the first place.

Yes its a good deal, especially since you're getting two 7800s there, you can offload one of them with the games you don't like (there'll be plenty, judging from that list ) and should break even.

question for the OP since they seem to be asking this question often. are you looking to buy this stuff to collect or to resell and make a profit?
