I thought a 3900X at £349, 3700X at £199 and an RX 590 at £99 counts as pretty insane to be honest, plus all the others deals, you bag yourself one of each deal like a case, PSU, GPU, CPU and if those in-store deals meet your criteria for a build you could be easily saving £200-£300.

If I was closer i’d happily have a 3700X off you.

Of course, you could be a nice chap and slash the web price to £199 as well? Eh? * nudge*

Blinding deals instore. Even though I'm more than happy with my 3700X I'd have torn someones face off, in a nice way, to get the 3900X at that price. Plus those M.2 drives, oof yes please. Might have to move closer for the 30th birthday

Guys

Still plenty of the in-store deals left, so feel free to pop down to try and grab one.

I’m the other end of the country.. and even worse; attending a children’s birthday party :confused:

This, if the web price of the 3900x was £350, the order would be in.

Just got back! Queued up three times and got everything I wanted so was well worth the trip. Happy birthday and thanks for the cake and drink! A special thank you also for the help in carrying my new case to my car. Turned out it was the the gigabyte rep i asked by accident, sorry about that

Picked up an one of Gibbos MSI 2080 super forum specials this morning. A 2080 super for 2070 money.

From looking at it, it seems ok, but i don't have it installed yet.

It's this one https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-35z-ms.html

It's the lower end of the 3rd party coolers and i don't think it has any RGB stuff or 0rpm fans.

w00dy85 · 29 Feb 2020 at 13:37

I don't find it loud and it's no louder than the 1080 I had before.

Yes it has no RGB, but I'm not bothered about that. The rest of my case is lit up like a Christmas tree anyway

Nice event guys, always enjoy a trip to the store, was an eye opener seeing 8 pack pouring LN2 as well. Not every day you can sit around on noblechairs eating free pizza! happy birthday

faceman123 · 29 Feb 2020 at 14:46

@Gibbo I put my name down a while back it there were any ol11's left

have they sold out yet?

casper_uk · 29 Feb 2020 at 16:50

I take it there is no raise the game eligibility due to the discounted prices? Just noticed no coupons on my receipts, worth asking about it i suppose
