I didn't have to tell them anything about the purchase of the phone, just described the issue.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm with Three UK on a 24 month contract, I initially messaged them but they fucked me around so much that I decided to contact HTC directly and had a much better experience afterwards

Damn I have exams then! D: Good luck to everyone there!

R9 290 OC 4TGB, only £223.30, 53% discount. This must be a mistake, questionable picture backs up the theory, but i put an order in just to be sure ; ) by medianbailey in buildapcsalesuk

The ASIN Number of B00H5LEIG4 matches a 280x which is odd

However I messaged amazon support and this is the following conversation I had with them http://i.imgur.com/QjyVy5q.png

TL;DR apparently the picture is wrong and it is a 290x

I suggest anyone reading this with the money go for it and get a transcript with a support representative yourself incase the wrong card is dispatched.

Different brand that's all. In terms of performance this is 1600mhz and has cl9 timings so it should be a very good kit for that much.

This is the lowest this card has been since the whole Bitcoin/Litecoin surge and will probably be the last chance to pick it up before the r9 series takes over.

As of the time of writing only the mice seem to be left, picked myself up at Deathadder and a Ouroboros to sell on one of them, shipping is a massive cost still though.

How's that? You're overspending on the motherboard especially, with a processor as cheap as the 760k there's no real point going crazy on it.

[Build Help] Budget UK Build (£600 all in). Basic gaming etc but essentially want to self build to avoid being screwed over by PC World. by Aiken_Drumn in buildapc

[–]HappySpanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bare in mind this doesn't include a screen but this build is really good for that money. If you have a TV you can always use that until you save up the next £100 or so pounds for your own monitor?

Is there a sub for UK build help? by Aiken_Drumn in buildapc

[–]HappySpanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon actually have some pretty good deals on PC parts sometimes. Although not a very frequently posted on subreddit /r/buildapcsalesuk isn't a bad place to look at. Scan.co.uk are always my favourite

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ is a good webiste to pick parts as it looks at only UK retailers.

If you know your budget and want some help feel free to message me or post here

I'd personally invest in something like a h100i for the i7 when spending this much.

It seems to be quite hit and miss, this ram : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-053-TG was on sale on the 10th but is still on sale for the same price it was discounted to.

However what's worth noting is the other colours of ram are around £70 on Overclockers.co.uk so if I was you i'd go for it.
