B grade components?

[IC3]

Is this worth buying as it will sit for a month or 2?

YOUR BASKET
1 x **B Grade** MSI GeForce GTX 580 OC Twin FrozR II 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express G (GX-116-MS) £199.99
1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - (Sandybridge) ** B3 REVISION ** £50.00
Total : £261.40 (includes shipping : £9.50).



I was thinking to buy this as its a good deal in my opinion but these will have to sit for a month or 2.

they won't sit for a month or two. Get the MSI Z68
I thought a £35 Asus Z68 was gonna sit for a day, the price shot up
I got the MSI mobo for £50

 

[Doomedspeed]

Good deal, yes. But in that time the price, especially second hand price may come down.

Id leave it. GTX 580 prices are falling sharply at the moment, i saw one go for £160 in the MM.

Get the MSI, P67 is inferiour
Get either Z77 or Z68

If you go to OCUK website on clearance lines, that mobo is no more on there...

Leave the 580 (or anything that is that expensive as they do not come with a good warranty).
