i have found a i7 4770k for £51 on website called ali express, i am wondering if this is even possible, could the person have got the batch from intel its self, or is this just a chinese imitation of an intel cpu.?

dood do not buy anything from ali express. have you ever looked at video cards on there?!?! lol

they'll have a GTX 780 for like $75.
the card itself is MUCHHH smaller than any other 780 out there. they jus ttake some crappy graphics card, put on a dual fan plastic shround that says 'gtx780' - flash the bios to say 'gtx 780' and then sell it on there.
there's no regulation at all

it's probably a $20 610.
if you look at the GPU-z screenshot closely, all the other numbers iwll be way off. core clock, GPU speed, amount of VRAM.

then when u get it and its garbage... what can you say? technicalyl they sold you a gtx 780 and showed you exactly what you were paying for

huge scam for people that dont know any better

Yeah i understand that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I just wanted to make sure as if you can get an i7 for around 1/4 of the price then i would get it straight away!

You can however get a Xeon 1230v3 (i7 4770 without integrated graphics, ever so slightly lower clock speed) for around £180, which is £40-£50 less than the i7 if you're interested.

But that site is most likely just set up for scams.
