Right, you could also wait 2 years for all the current cards to be dirt cheap.

Show a link or something because I highly doubt even a refurbished computer with an i7 would sell for that low.

Even if they are sold out show me the link to the sold out computer that has an i7 cpu in it and is around 500 USD.

The cheapest i7 is almost 300 USD by itself. And the mother board needed for those CPUs are not cheap either.

If that was really 500 USD then that is a good deal.

Personally I'd get it if it was cheaper, but since refurbished and OEM, you'd be trying your luck if you buy it. Don't expect to upgrade with the same PSU though, it's probably a generic 500W, that actually gives off 300W(which is below average).
