    Run your build through geizhals.de to save about 25 quid!

    Also, check this website for a tenner voucher code: http://www.gutscheinsammler.de/gutscheine/hardwareversand
    (If you bring the price of the build up to €1000, you can get a €20 voucher code)

    I'm buying the exact same graphics card and CPU as you. Fingers crossed that it all arrives before Christmas! :)

    Yep was gonna do all that. Cheers. I reckon they will. Last time I bought from them they arrived in about 5 days or so. :)

    Turns out you can only use the voucher if you're a first time buyer which I'm not so I think I'll leave it. Anyway after running everything through geizhals it comes down to 930 so I'd have to spend a lot more to get it to 1000 which I don't want to do. The toxic is a great card though in terms of temperatures and power use but my main concern is FPS,the gigbayte is only a tiny bit slower in that regard and after I overclock it it'll be the same. :)

    no problem, getting the toxic for my own build, if only dabs weren't such spa's when it comes to delivery:mad: ordered about a week or two ago, called them 3 days ago and they say ohh, we dont have the cpu or gpu in stock, so we will ship on Wednesday next week.... but the annoying thing is it says there is 25 cpu's in stock and 42 gpu's in stock *facepalm* good luck with the build anyway:D

    Can I ask you how much you paid for delivery? I only paid €11.99, when I thought it's usually €18.99 to Ireland. According to their delivery cost page, the only two countries that cost €12 for delivery is FR and GB... Turns out, that it's €12.99 to get it delivered to FR and GB. No country gets delivery for €11.99, so now I'm really confused! :P

    I double-checked my address, and it's definitely set to go to Ireland.

    I paid 12 as well. Pretty sure that the normal price. They aren't very good at updated their site so the info could well be out of date. Tbh if so many people here weren't recommending them and I hadn't already bought from them before I'd have thought they were too dodgy a site to buy from. :p

    Good to know! Yeah, their site is poorly translated as well - but hey, can't complain given the prices.
