Where is best/cheapest to buy HD4870?

Im in the market for a new HD4870 512mb edition.
Ive looked on places like aria.co.uk, ebuyer.co.uk, novatech.co.uk, scan.co.uk

but these places are expensive, i came across an American website called Newegg.com, they sell a New HD4870 512mb edition for 200 dolars (about 132 britsh pounds) which is great, but they dont ship to the UK. (Damn it!!!)

So Can anyone suggest a website that has good prices and delivers to the UK or are based in the UK?

Many thanks to anyone that can help.

I don't have a website to suggest since I live in Canada but I would suggest looking at the 1gb version of the 4870, usually it is a bit more expensive but if you game at high resolution it is worth it 'cause you can crank the AA and AF higher than the 512mb version.

not sure what prices the other sites had but http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-1 [...] 428&sr=8-1 seems decent, and its a 1gb

i have an idea, im going to ask newegg if they will deliver the item to UPS and then UPS can ship it to me.
it will probably cost about 20 pounds for shipping lol, but still cheaper than anywhere in the UK, i wish i lived in the US =/ would be tight!

yeah its the tits

lol, its about 60 pounds cheaper @ newegg
i dnt have any trust worthy friends in America =/ how can it be this hard to get a parcel from America to britain in this day and age

i dnt really want to ask a random American either, to risky could just take my money and keep the card =/

anyone got any smart ideas?

i hope britain is perparing to convert to american D

What if you had a Fed Ex account or a UPS account. Would they do it under someone else's account?

Dumb idea probably. If you had an account with the shipping company then it would essentially be a shipping deal between you and your shipping company. Basically all they would have to do is tender your parcel to that shipping company and then what happens with it after that is not their concern. I'm sure there is more to it then that, though. Bet they wouldn't do it because of refunds, tax laws and such.

Reading this thread just made me think (it was a little painful) What if you were to get a US P.O. Box and have the mail from the box forwarded to you? I don't know if Newegg or anyone else will ship to a P.O Box and but it might be worth looking into, especially if you plan to order things often.

Check out Tiger Direct. They are often a little more expensive than Newegg or Zipzoomfly et al. But I believe they will ship to you and it may save you some money.

Wow thanks guys, uve gone to alot of effort for me.

ill check out tiger direct and gently remind them of Newegg's pricing lol

still no reponse from UPS or Newegg =/

well ive e-mailed tiger direct, they are quite a bit more expensive. But i told them of the wonderous world that is Newegg and so i hope they can do a price match for me.
would be tight if they could.

Cheers guys for your support in the quest to get me world domination!!!! i mean better graphics !!!

What happened to january sales ?!?!?!?!

Damn they dont ship to the UK =/

Thats OK hairycat101, ill just have to save up for alittle longer =/

ok, i wish that Newegg had a store in the UK.

lol^^

I was wondering if you could help me (again)

As you know im going to get another 4870 for crossfire, nd ive read that if you have 2 x 4870's in crossfire the memory from both the cards is not combined, so firstly will i get an performance increase with 2 HD4870's as a pose to 1 when playing games @ 1920x1080 with AA and AF on?

secondly: if i was to buy a 1GB version of the 4870 and use it as my primary card (pci-e slot 0) and have my current card connected to it, would i then get 1GB of memory?, or will the 1GB card become 512MB?

ideas? please post ^__^
