just curious...do you know anyone in the US? Cuz' you could wire them the money or paypal or w/e, they order it for you, and then they can ship it to you for like $10. Alot of people do that, you just have to know someone who you can trust. It's also a bit of a wait...but you could save like $50 if the place you are ordering from wants $60 shipping.
and as its not much more than the PNY and im going to be getting a slightly better performance. Plus you get lifetime warranty with it which is quite good. Unless anyone comes up with anything really bad about it soon, i think im going to go for it
Oh ok, well then get the PNY then. If you can get a MSI, get that one. But if its your only choice, then the PNY would work fine. Dont get your hopes down just because your stuck with the PNY, hell its still a 6600 GT.
go with leadtek. I believe they had some of the best cooling, quietness, and OC'ing out of the others.
2nd choice would be BFG.
I've heard a LOT of problems with the XFX cards, Sparkle is absolute crap IMO, and PNY is another no namer that I don't think is very good quality in comparison to the other two.
Yeah it sucks, the UK and most anywhere besides US gets ripped off on taxes and shipping. I definitely don't want to live abroad and buy PC parts
I've got MSI AGP and it RULEZZZ and pwns, that is all I can say. I got mine for 200 bux off newegg, but now it dorpped 30 bucks and it's $170 --> good deal
