Hi guys

I am currently loooking to build the following spec pc as price up on OCUK website. However it looks like OCUK are no longer selling the above graphics card i want. Does anyone know where else they sell these as i've been unsuccessful searching the net. i would ideally like to buy all the components from one site to save shipping costs. So any help is much appreciated. Cheers Ron

Thanks Adam, yeh i was considering that! but trying to keep the whole system within my budget and it has already slightly gone over!! lol
 
when did the lightnings go up to 5ton? they were around the 450 mark just over a week ago i think

ive been looking for these too, i may just wait for kepler tho
 
If you only play with a single GTX580 then you'll hardly need more than 1.5GB vram. If you wish to get the 3GB version you might also consider the reference 3GB from EVGA (and you could buy from their EU website).
 
Hi guys,

OcUK removed them from sale temporarily due to a shortage of stock. They should receive more stock around the middle of July though.

Sorry for the delay, these are selling faster than we can make them at the moment.
 
Well i just got the 1.5gb version and its my first msi product and all i can say is the quality and performace is just amazing well happy with it :)
 
Glad I picked mine up when I did then. Seriously dude, just wait, it'll be worth it. They a re simply the best cards I've ever had. They look cool and most of all they run cool. Just wait ;)

Shortage is one reason. The other is because most customers who saw the XE 3GB would stop buying the 1.5GB version at that price.
 
I was going to buy one about 3 weeks ago, had the cash to splash then saw an offer on the MSI GTX580 Twin FrozR II/OC 1.5GB for £335 like at least £100 cheaper, glad I saved £100 as this clocks nicely.

Definitly going to buy a Lightning Extreme Keplar version, as soon as they are released, will get good use out of it even if their is a premium on release.
 
Am also waiting for this card to come to store.
From where I'm buying it says that they will probably have it in stock september 1.
So maybe I will cancel it and buy EVGA gtx580 3GB watercooled instead if I get a nice price on watercooling parts from a company here in sweden :).
