    GPU

    Z97 Motherboard

    i7

    CPU Cooler

    Total is 695 delivered. The PSU is fine, allows for a bigger GPU with a substantial overclock and several hard drives and case fans

    Seen something about the value of your order for PayPal?

    I used PayPal for a €709 order in Jan and it was fine, I know yours is something similar Dun. Could ye test with with orders above and below 500 or 700?

    I'll do it myself and report findings later on if ye can't

    Tested €350 and €740, followed by €2,600 and it still allowed me to use Paypal, so I genuinely haven't a clue why it won't work
