Well, i'm setting up my new Rig soon, and just trawled theslum that is Ebay, and found a diamond - a GTX280 (Factory OC) for Â£165.50 (Buy it now) - this is a good deal, yes? cheapest i can find another GTX 280 is Â£180. if it is, i'm pressing that BIN button.

I might also be open to suggestions in the ATI selection, anything that's close performance wise.

And a thanks in advance.

Thats a good deal however you can get a brand new ATI 4890 which is slightly faster for less.

I know how fast they are because I have had 4 GTX280's in the past as well so im not guesing.

A friend of mine found that the fan wasn't even plugged in on his one.
