EDIT: Price has just dropped from £199.99 + delivery to £185.99 + delivery - Thanks to Pattikins for pointing that out!
The MSI GTX 780 Gaming Edition has expired now but this is the faster Lightning version by MSI. Not as great a deal but still a great price for what is one of the best 780s.
£199.99 if you can get free delivery or pick-up instore.
Just get a 390 not much more this card is not worth it if you want it to last

Not quite as good a deal as the 770 the other day. Not when you can get new GTX970 4GB cards for ~£230 delivered these days if you look in the right places.
Another ~£20 more for one of those is a much better deal, not least for the extra memory and fair speed advantage (a good 15+ percent.)

It's an nVidia card. You'll regret buying anything without a current gen denomination heading up the model number.
You can be sure that once the next gen cards come out that they will slowly make the 9 series cards obsolete in some stupid manor.

I'm normally a fan of the Lightning cards, but not sure this one is worth the extra cash over the normal Gaming model that is also on sale. The third fan does nothing useful and it's a bit noisy compared to the Gaming. Not terrible, but not worth the premium.

"new GTX970 4GB cards for ~£230 delivered these days" Are they not the affected cards?

All 970's only have 3.5GB full speed GDDR5 ram. Hit the final .5 ram and a wreck will unfold.
