    Komplett or OcUK are about the cheapest.

    There is no hardware difference between the cards they are all the same from the various vendors, the price difference stems from the following aspects;
    Bundle games, extras etc.
    Cooler stock or custom job
    Clock speeds is it an overclocked out of the box version.

    Stock speeds for the 7800GS are;
    Core: 375Mhz
    RAM: 600Mhz (1200Mhz effective)

    So you can tell the stock versions from the overclocked ones.

    No I dont believe they do, I've always been charged the price plus UK VAT.

    Use XE to calculate the final item+shipping price in Euros
    http://www.xe.com/

    Sometimes they work out cheaper than Komplett and sometimes not but they have a good selection of items which are not so easy to obtain in IE (or Komplett) which is what I generally use them for.

    I don't know who you asked, because we don't sell it and I've never been asked to get a price on it. What store did you go into?
