That is the setup and including delivery its going to be £700

With Christmas coming i need to save all i can (go figure) and i read about vouchers or delevry options, how do those work cause any aid in the pricing department would be much apreciated
 
Seems like quite a good budget spec, nice one.

You could perhaps save some money by overclocking a cheaper core 2?

Also, prices of gfx cards are high at the moment, you may want to consider waiting a bit if that's an option.

I know that loyal forum members can get reduced delivery, but this won't help you much unless you know someone who is?

I've found citylinks prices to be well worth it though, they offer a good service.
 
Duno why but i kind of want to buy from OCUk, got it all in the basket and stuff ready to go but was wondering if there were benevolent people on the forums who had like a voucher or some *wink wink nudge nudge* , i know its ***** but its tight atm
 
Not that I know of, but i'm fairly new round here!

Of course it's nice to get something cheaper, but even if there was, this isn't the right forum to ask for it!

I've been more than happy with OCUks service, so much so it's worth sometimes paying a bit more on some of the components. I wouldn't go anywhere else unless it wasn't stocked here.
 
The spec looks very good. As for delivery costs, you only get it for free if you have over 250 posts and been a member for 90+ days so you won't be liable for it at the moment :(.
 
why the HIS 4870 rather than the powercolour, 5 quid dearer and the same warranty period etc, no point.

they don't just hand out 10% vouchers if you ask for them :p
 
The 10% vouchers are for non loyal customers who haven't used ocuk for their goods for 12 months or more to intice them back.
