no, the real question is if you had 3k, could you buy a 340 core for 1500, basic rebuild it and use the left over money for performance and go faster than the 318 with 3k.
i know guys that have spent well over 3K on 318's and they perform admirably.
but eventually they sell and take a big loss.If you buy and build/refresh a 340
for 3k and sell you'll make money
