    looking at the two websites, hwvs and amazon, amazon seem to nearly always come out cheaper.
    just curious as to why hwvs seems to be thenorm here, lot more variety on amazon.

    not for me, always comes out more expensive for builds, in addition most of the time its from different sellers so each item would be charged shipping.

    Are you sure your checking the shipping charges to ireland correctly?

    Also, use http://geizhals.de/ trick to save even more on HVS.

    Currently a 2-4 week wait for dispatch (and likely a misprice/wrong item).

    MSI AMD R7950 3GB DDR5 Twin Frozr PCI-E Graphics Card - €188 delivered from Amazon. [Link]

    I'd recommend selecting 'Amazon' as the seller from the list on the right-hand side of the page. Amazon are great for returns/customer service in case there has been some error (the product ASIN is for a nVidia GTX 650Ti Boost Edition).

    7870 GHz Edition for ~€205 from Aria. Not unusual in and of itself (HWVS is around the same price) but it comes free with:

    Far Cry 3
    Far Cry: Blood Dragon
    Tomb Raider
    Bioshock Infinite

    The same four games that that 7770 a couple of weeks back came with. I ordered it, and didn't get exactly those games (Sleeping Dogs instead of Tomb Raider) but they will honour it, and it's still good value, etc.

    I see a lot of mentions for Aria all over this forum. It's worth noting that they charge £26.95 to Ireland for anything up to 5kg so good for a build but not great for buying individual components.

    Ah, that's awesome then! I reckon there's been a surge in stuff being purchased from Aria lately but they've not update their shipping costs page yet.

    I know from getting their newsletters that they are becoming increasingly more viable lately when compared to hardwareversand and dabs. Sorry for the off topic post mod, I wasn't sure where to highlight this...

    Free super saver delivery to Ireland from Amazon.

    It's about €18 from Germany if I'm not mistaken.

    So it ends up costing roughly the same :rolleyes:

    Except the SanDisk ones are better it looks like

    SanDisk 120GB
    Sequential Read up to 550MB/sec
    Sequential Write up to 510MB/sec
    Random Read 23K IOPS
    Random Write 83K IOPS

    Samsung 840 series 120GB
    Sequential Read up to 530MB/sec
    Sequential Write up to 130MB/sec
    Random Read 85K IOPS
    Random Write 32K IOPS

    Not sure why their random speeds are completely opposite of each other :confused:

    Edit: Despite the fact that the SanDisk looks faster it isn't - A quick google search revealed that the Samsung 840 is superior, and the 840 pro is better again.

    Samsung is also cheaper.

    An 8320 is the better buy if you are really after a bargain. Same processor just lower clocked but you can clock it to 8350 levels and higher.

    I know, I'm not denying that. Just felt it was worth mentioning the 8350. :)

    Just passing on a spot by someone else in the BA forum. Its a pretty good deal for a what is a very decent budget 120GB SSD, although if I was buying I still think the 120GB 840 is probably still worth the extra €12-13 or thereabouts.

    Kingston V300 120GB: €79.56 (According to my amazon irish prices chrome plugin) with super saver delivery.

    And the U2713HM for €499, should be slightly cheaper than amazon, including VAT and conversion fees and a good €30 cheaper than hardwareversand.

    I used discount code GLEB55HL for 2% off and the total price came to £146.60.

    Compare that to other retailers:
    Ebuyer £167.58
    Amazon £152.23 Now £147.99 but Overclockers still slightly cheaper with the code
    Hardwareversand €177.15 + Delivery

    Assembly is €5 again at hardwareversand.

    I know, I know, why would you pay someone to do the most fun part? But some people are weird like that. :pac:

    Also, they've done some questionable jobs at times, but €5 < €20.

    I think they maybe only valid til the end of the month, not sure whether the voucher(s) require you to spend a certain amount ie spend over €500 to use the €20 voucher code, also before anybody tries it... you cannot sadly add more than one voucher :(
