    Popped into BOI on thursday , only to find they didnt do transfers under 3000 euro .. unless it was an emergency .. and that emergency would cost 35 euro :( ... so they suggested i set up my own Online Banking(which i should have done ages ago anyway) and thats gonna take another 7 -10 days , so its going to be at least a week or two before hardwareversand see their money , is this going to be a problem?? seeing as parts i ordered werent expected in until the 31st of this month ..

    I think they release the ordered parts back into stock if they don't receive payent within 7 days.

    You could try dropping them a mail or calling them, not sure they are great at answering mails though.

    I wouldn't worry too much either way most of the parts you have ordered are rarely out of stock for too long, and plenty of similar alternatives for nearly everything.

    R9 270 or 760 gtx in that price range.

    Would I be better just to chose the first and save the ten euro!
    Thanks for your reply!

    Feck all difference, might as well go for the cheaper option. How much is komplett delivery?

    It's free on Amazon who also have better customer service.

    Yes unless you want that free copy of Assassins Creed. Possible you get it with Amazon as well though.

    They usually suck for the free games deals though.

    The MSI is factory overclocked to 1150 MHz, and the Asus is only overclocked to 1072 MHz. So MSI is 8% faster out-of-the-box. Of course you can overclock them yourself as well so hard to say which one will have the better speed after that.

    So its not really a big deal if I buy off Komplett or Amazon , and other than that Im not pushed about a free game , and if I can overclock with the Asus GPU Tweak I should be fine right? Also I have a 500w PSU , should it be sufficient enough?

    Amazon are doing a free trial of Prime at the moment which would give you free 2 day delivery on that.

    You just have to remember to cancel it before the free month is up or they will charge you the discounted annual fee of €60.

    Both the Asus and Msi have similar quality coolers. The Asus one edges it a little imo. 500w is loads.
