Ive not tested for a while but i think you may find that Jose can indeed find the required skills to perform the act if the mood takes him.
 
I would say a ~£400 GTX 295 is a much better buy than a GTX 280 at ~£300. Few knowledgeable people will buy a 280 at this price nowadays.

Perhaps if the 295 price was increased to £500 it would be a more attractive proposition.

Heck, water makes hardly any difference to GPU overclocks.

With a nex generation of cards just a few monts away I wonder if it is wise buying the most expensive old gen card (of course if money is no object, max perfformance now is most important, then thats fine of course a 295 GTX it is). A 280GTX bought for £250-£280 now will loose you less money than a 295GTX and will be easier to sell on at a time when people are tightening their belts. Any way would be nice to see some comparisons between a OC'ed say 700Mhx 280 GTX and a std 295 (looks like 295GTX dont over clock too well as EVGA only managed 3% on their overclocked 295)
 
I know this is GTX280 but the 260 OcUk value sounds like amazing... 202 inc vat and free mirrors edge and farcry 2?

Too good to be true?
