Just ordered this QTY : 1 - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £241.66, which came to a total of about £290 inclusive VAT.

Paid, checked the order details and..

VAT: £283.95
Order Total: £525.61

HOLY ***** Nearly had a heart attack, phoned them up and they said "We are aware of the issue and you are only being charged a total of £290, don't worry"

Thanks OCUK I nearly needed a pace maker

So... what was the issue, did they tell you?

Nope, just said we are aware of the issue..

So other people who are currently buying should be aware

If I ended up with Two G1's for £290 I think I'd be happy
