[U.S] MSI R9 290 $434.77

[mvitkun]

PCConnection selling the R9 290 for $434.77

 

Does not include shipping.

 

EDIT:previously thought to be an R9 290X,turns out it was a typo on PCConnection's side. thanks to @Adnanklink for calling PCConnection and finding out that it was only an R9 290.

Still a good deal though since ,with the exception of the Visiontek r9 290,the cheapest card is $520

Well i'm watercooling btw

[Adnanklink]

i think im gonna go for it, im also planning on putting together a custom loop or just expanding my h220. Also, its much easier to find a waterblock for the reference pcb.

Seems like a legit site.

You could get a Bstock 780 for the same price from EVGA

[Adnanklink]

It's a 290, not a 290x. I called them once I noticed the order number did not include the "x" and they said that it was a typo.

this quote just saved me from making a semi regrettable purchase.

 

although the ebay profit margin looks quite good.

Except B-Stock has only a 1 year warranty,may not be cosmetically perfect,etc.

And that's not even mentioning that the R9 290X is better than the GTX 780 non ti.

Also in reply to your stock cooler comment,for how low this price is you could just buy it and resell it for $500-$600,buy an after-market heatsink,or watercool it.

 

EDIT:apparently somebody called them and it's an R9 290

oh okay,I'll edit the post.

Still a nice deal, but the fact that they've mislabeled it as a 290X (intentional or no) would make me a bit hesitant about buying from them...

Get 'em while their cheap kids. It wont last if it's real.

PC Connection is a real company, fairly well known up here in NH (I believe they are headquartered in Nashua).

 

As to the deal, it's for a stock R9 290, I'm waiting for non-reference designs to be a little higher than that. These sales are a good sign to me!

Not worth, stock cooler

Buy a G10? Problem solved!

it's a legit company,PCPer even brought it up as having great prices in their podcast,even newegg mislabels occasionally.
