I want to just replace it and get something that works.

I'd like somewhere in dublin ( store ) I can walk into and buy one or somewhere with next day delivery.

I don't mind spending extra just to get this thing finished.

So can anyone advise on what card to get and what shop would have it ?

Needs to work with core i5.

thanks.

Both Elara and Komplett have pick up points in Dublin were you can walk in. But you still need to order it on line. And, it would still take a few days to get to Dublin.

Nope, their stuff would be out of date and overpriced.

I don't want to order from HWVS.. way to much hassle as my bank is **** and can't send money.

So I'll just go with dabs / Komplett or somewhere that take CC/Paypal and they can deliver. If i can't collect it to day I'll have to have it delivered.

What should I go with. I know the new Z77 is good. But there's so many.

At this stage I don't mind spending €120 - Do I don't want to buy something just because I can.. I just want something I need.

I'm at work so doing this quick. At least If anything goes wrong with them Komplett will give a two year warranty and there in Dublin.
