Cheers guys!
Just got to decide on which build to buy! i will probably go for the better HDD.
I might buy the items on offer before they change then get the others after.
If i post after the deals change stating what i have will you be able to suggest the rest of the parts i need based on the new offers??
Thanks for all the help!

Why not order the parts that are on offer, before 9am Monday and ask for Friday delivery. Then later that day when you have had a good look through the new deals and offers, then order the rest of your parts. And ask if the second order can be added to the first and sent out as one delivery. Saves on postage.

 

[Hypo Rhino]

do the deals change monday?

 

[mickyflinn]

No, on Wednesday.

 

[Hypo Rhino]

okay cheers. Thats a good idea Idleman!! Are they likely to add it to the existing order? just dont wanna do it and then they say no aha!

Im ordering tonight so would like feedback soon!

Hi again!
I ordered all on tuesday for friday delivery however turns out that the graphics card i got was out of stock (it didnt have this noted when ordering but i know the stock count doesnt update immediately.) it would've been nice if they let me know rather than have someone home all day but these things happen aha!
anyway- to the point- which graphics card would be a good substitute?

cheers

Ask them, if they will give you this card at the same price as the MSI you ordered as a replacement, seeing as they did`nt inform you soon enough.
If not, go for the HIS(it`s cheaper), although the Windforce has a better cooler.

Yeah i'll give them a call in the morning. I hope they can give similar price as it cost a lot more than that having someone be off work all day. Just annoyed me a bit that they didnt get in touch.

I think they are having a few problems at the moment, what with the move.
Drop 5UB a note through Order Queries and see if he can sort something out for you.
