Meh. And from a quick look their prices are not good either.

Amazon is good to deal with.


Didn't have time to brand /price check but heres an example
Amazon here is a msi 390 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZPOAYG6/?tag=curiua0b-21# 365 euro.

Gigabyte GTX 970 g1 gaming (some would argue best version of 970) http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZPOAYG6/?tag=curiua0b-21#

366 euro which is a good price for this card as of now. (402 euro on dabs)

That'll happen if you're a stickler for having very specific parts but not if you buy looking for best value.

Well if the difference is 21 euro. I'd go with amazon. I'd rather deal with amazon all day every day.

Sterling is really strong just now. Try running the parts through amazon.fr or .de and see how the prices come out.
