Those prices are a disgrace. I will be holding out for a reference model if they appear.

be ready to pay the new ocuk 10% extra loyalty/Haribo tax, regardless.

No longer free Haribo, but lube instead

I know, i'm slow to the mark like AMD/Nvidia

And my signature truly reflects the current situation with pricing.

What a crap time to be a PC enthusiast. Probably going to get a laptop and go full console soon.

If my Steam library didn't have over 300 games on it, then I'd probably move over to console as well. PC is getting screwed year on year.

No one should be paying anything over £700 for any of the AIB cards. Only way to teach these companies a lesson.

It's a fantastic time! All this new tech coming out is fantastic, just a shame only 1% can get ahold of it!

The market doesn't care, the market does what it want's, no means yes to the market, the hole in your wallet will never be the same again #2020

I really should drink less black coffee in the morning

No wonder OC hates us talking about competitors - they are ALL cheaper!

absolute disgrace. I’ll never buy from OC again.

Absolutely.

However the flip side is you may learn the lesson that you declining to purchase doesn't stop the cards selling out.
