I never knew EVGA offered so many variants on their cards? Can someone fill in a noob? :)

 

I get they're different clock speed, different fan style etc. but it just seems excessive.

LOL.

These are almost all normal price or slightly overpriced.

Yup, but the Stream Deck and the EVGA G1+ are a good deal in canada. Local stores are about 50% of the time cheaper than amazon (the rest of the time it's still not worth the Amazon hassle for a few bucks) on many things but the PSU is one that is actually nearly $50 cheaper w/o MIR... Stream Deck is the lowest it has been in over a year of records (according to Camel3)

 

Also Honey is 100% broken on the .ca for price checking...

Ok so I ordered an i7-8700k and Asus z370a along with other various parts for my pc build newegg, but this was before I saw your video with the bundle (that would save me $90). Anyone know how I can get the money back? My purchase has already shipped.

Sennheiser 4.50s for $99? A saving of $100? Woooow! Except they were never priced at $199.
While I hope it is obvious that Amazon is mostly bullshitting us, I have that awkward feeling that people actually believe this nonsense.

Amazon aren't good in Australia yet, I feel like they've only half entered the market. Hopefully we'll get those deals soon.

So you have the single fan variant for smaller cases. This is a reference card.

You have the SC and SSC which are reference cards with a factory overclock

Then you have the FTW, and FTW+ which are non reference cards with factory overclock and better power delivery

Then you have the FTW DW, which are FTW cards that are of lesser quality and do not have the factory overclock due to bad overclock potential.

You will see performance differences between brands. I mean if you compare say a Sandisk with a high end Samsung the Samsung will walk all over it. That being said in real world performance you would be hard presses to see a difference. Many people use Sandisk as they are a good balance of value/performance.

I ordered the Helios 300 as I have been needing to buy it for awhile. Amazon canceled my order and told me to reorder but would not honor the $899 price I had in my previous order. I have the email of the order and number and they have now given me the original answer that it was a fraudulent order and now more recently they canceled it because they said Acer would not sell it to them for that price. I have the chat records from Amazon saved for a formal complaint. I wish I was able to record my phone call as well trying to explain how it was a fraudulent order and them not being able to reinstate my order with no explanations.

 

Amazon up to some shady stuff.
