Hi guys. So i've been looking around for available r9 series for my computer, its the last part I need so i'm really anxious to get it. So I found this place that is selling a 280X TOXIC for $262. I've never heard of the site, and I find it astounding that they even have a 280X in stock, and at that low of a price because 1. its a 280x and 2. its a toxic. They are selling 280x's at very low prices. So obviously i'm looking at this. I've done a couple google searches and I can only find about 3 reviews on it and they all say its decently okay. I was just wondering if any of you had experience with this site, and tell me if I should buy from here or not. I am really hoping I can, I just don't want it to be some scamming ring that I didn't know about. Thanks in advance.

It looks like a scam site to me.

just about every legitimate website online has certifications that basically say "hey this site is a safe place to be at"

for example here at newegg(www.newegg.com) if you scroll to the very bottom you see some certifications like VERISIGN SECURE, BBB, or GOOGLE TRUSTED STORE.

same for amazon and so forth. i do not see anything like that for this newkstore site.
