  1. More than any respectable person in the industry*. Its 300$ dollars for christ sakes, thats like charging 50$ an hour and taking 6 hours to build a computer. After a few tries and being confident any one can do a well managed build in 2 hours. Places like NCIX charge 50$ to build a computer. A 300$ charge just for building a computer (which it wasnt in this case) is unjustifiably stupid.

      r/hardwareswap, watched it like a hawk for 3 days, was going to buy a 780 then that popped up. 780 guy was pissed. I dont blame him

      This is a temporary thing. Ive been using a stock cooler that idles at 70c for 6 weeks now. Corsair took forever to send out my h100i then it got lost. I just got tracking info for the new one theyre sending but it wont be here for atleast 2 weeks. When I get it ill most likely be throwing a label on it and sending it to Megadave for his H220. I didnt want to be on the stock cooler for another 4 weeks

  2. Because building a computer doesnt warrant an extra 399$ charge. When I made my original post I didnt realize OP was in Australia, that makes 1300$ more justifiable
  3. A link to a Ebay account will go a long way, I say go for it
  4. NCIX offers international shipping, I dont see how you could have a problem
  5. That is a very fair price. They go for 300$ with out a block regularly on Hardwareswap. Maybe try listing them over there. Youll probably get flamed a bit if you dont already have a long time Reddit account since you wont have a flair. You could probably get 700$ shipped for them there

      he had a $100 best buy gift card he gave the guy as well

  6. The Lyr is well regarded as a good match for the LCD-2. @Lays had the Lyr and LCD-2 and loved it
  7. You could put them in Raid together but dont. It would be a waste of 250Gb of space on the Evo. They dont have to be the same capacity but they should be

    MARS 760, 780 ACX, 780 ACX FTW for 300 or XFX 2…

    290X is out, I doubt ill go MARS because of VRAM. Theres also no waterblock for the FTW, I may watercool at some point so Ill prob end up with the ACX 780
  9. Thats a 1000$ build if youre lucky. Dick move screwing him over

    MARS 760, 780 ACX, 780 ACX FTW for 300 or XFX 2…

    Im worried about the MARS, I would love to have it and it would match my build so well but its only 2Gb and on 1440p thats not a smart move

    Sadly r/hardwareswap is strangly empty on 290x's right now and thats the only one I can find
  13. MARS 760, 780 ACX, 780 ACX FTW for 300 or XFX 290x DD for 250 I dunno.......

      Well if I could get a Mars I would totally go 1080p, I feel 1080p and above is not needed. but I guess not everyone is like that. :)

      have u used above 1080p before?
