Link.

Note that Nvidia's game bundle doesn't start until 10/28.

I'm looking to build a new rig. Is this a good deal?

well its in the hot deals section...

if you could get it with the bundle then it would be a much better deal. you can get a 7970 for cheaper and if ocing both, the 7970 will probably be a little faster overall. plus the 7970 has 3gb of vram where having just 2gb on the 680 might be an issue in some games down the road. if looking for best bang for buck then a 7950 can be had for under 200 bucks and they have lots of ocng headroom.

and that ASUS 680 here has a huge triple slot cooler which may or may not be something that bothers you.

For this specific card if you absolutely must have a 680 it is a good deal.

For video cards in general it is not really. The 680's are overpriced compared to the competition.

With 7970s dropping into the $230-250 range nowadays, I would say no, it's not that great of a deal.
