Is this a good deal for it (USD)? http://www.microcenter.com/product/467411/GeForce_GTX_1070_FTW_Gaming_Video_Card_w-_ACX_30_Cooling

There is also a rebate to drop it down to $305.

Due to a pricing error by Microcenter in the US I reserved a zotac amp 1070 for $199 and a PNY 1070 for $259. (edit: prices have been adjusted for new purchases)

Hopefully they honor their prices that I reserve this stuff at (edit: they did!). There were only 1 left of the PNY and Zotac Amp.

It's funny. I tried to order more then one of the evga and they started to charge them at $420, so I canceled that I just ordered one for pickup at $329 lol.

I know this is off topic. But out of the three which one should I keep for myself and which ones should I resell. They honored the prices. This is at their respective prices of $199 for the zotac, $259 for the PNY, and $330 for the EVGA FTW (of which may be older stock and have the heating issues, not sure). Then there is tax added.

Yeah, I ended up checking it before even taking it out of the wrap and it came with the new pads installed.
