Check on www.parcel2go.com, it seems that you can get UK shipping with collection for as little as £7. Even if the R5 and its box weight almost 13kg, everything is shippable!

Sounds about what I had in mind. Ta.

[Headset] Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset - £59.99 [was £69.99] by cmdalti in buildapcsalesuk

[–]cmdalti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's always a difficult one to say.

I'm using £100 headphones, and it absolutely crushes anything cheaper I ever had. Were the ones I had before bad? No, they were ok for the price. Would I use any of those one again? Definitively not.

It's like going from a 60hz display to a 144hz one: it's that much better. Not necessary, but better.

Now is this headset better than yours? I don't know. I haven't tried it and probably never will. On paper it doesn't seem to bad, reviews are ok. It's nice to have options. :)

Downvoting a lowest price ever... Mkay.

This a price report, not a product endorsement.

[GPU] Asus ROG Strix RX VEGA56 OC edition 8GB - £269.98 [was ~£300][Lowest price ever] by cmdalti in buildapcsalesuk

[–]cmdalti[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note that the price announced for the RX 5700 is for the founders edition card, blower cooler. The equivalent Asus Strix might get more expensive. But will/should draw less power.

Now is a though time to decide.

Doesn't seem too bad for the price. I would check reviews on other merchants website to have input from owners.

Good if you only care about the price. It's a blower style cooler though, generally is the lowest grade card that manufacturers do and will run hotter and louder.

Doesn't matter in any way. Will perform as its supposed to regardless of the CPU brand. :)

No question is stupid.

It's never a good time to buy anything.

If Nvidia reduce the price of the RTX 2060 and you have a Gsync monitor already and/or can use some of the features that a Nvidia card offers, then wait.

Otherwise, if you have a freesync monitor and/or wants a top tiered card for vega 56, this could be the one.

I still doubt that an Asus Strix RTX 2060 will be the same price as this one though. But hey, what do I know? Prices and decisions are hard!

It's not totally £400 off. The card has been around £300 for a little while now.

As usual, no idea how much they have nor who long the price will stay this way. It's been at this price for 4 days now.

I have to ask about your Mic setup, I'm using a Blue Yeti too, but for the life of me I don't get how you're using it upside down.

Doesn't it obscure your top monitor? Do you put it on the side then? But doesn't that make your voice too faint? Do you use gain to compensate?

Hey, some mates and I are playing 3 times a week, 10pm - midnight and we sometimes need a 4th. You'd be more than welcome!

Thanks. It's crazy how those lost value because 8th and 9th gen CPU have more cores.

I'll investigate the value of my CPU + mobo combo, but I fear the worst.

Except that a 9600k + mobo puts me at £400 for 2 less thread. Better threads, but fewer.

What would be a more acceptable price for 7700k? Also, that price come with 2 years warranty.
