Good deal, but I advice against Ebuyer. I ordered a monitor and they sent me the wrong one. I sent it back and they didn't refund me until I got amazon to bully them into giving it back to me.

 

 

All they said in customer service was "Sorry to hear that".

After I got fed up, I called the big boys to step in and amazon did (I purchased through amazon so lucky I had a fail safe). I filed a claim and Amazon sorted it out like the legends they are.

I've never had issue with Ebuyer in the past.

 

That's a good deal, but I'd probably still rather pay an extra £20 for the Tri-x.

Seems sorta like a good deal, but wouldn't a GTX 970, even some of the most ''basic'' ones, be worth the more cost?

I've been buying from eBuyer since 2005 when I placed my first order and never once had to contact them about any issues.

Maybe I'm missing something, but you can get a Tri-X for £3 cheaper on amazon :/

You are  :P

 

The MSI R9 290 listed above was £197 earlier I believe! They just recently changed the price back as it's a new day.

I don't know if the price has gone up since this was posted but when I clicked the link just now it said 265 pound roughly ...Overclockers is offering it for cheaper, 234 pound(rounded up)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-239-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

it was £197, anyway, they have the PCS+ version for 207, still good price

 

I love the fact that they can drive up to 6 monitors. Can you mix and match resolutions (3x FHD+1x 4K) easily?
