Radeon R9 Nitro 380 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - looks like it comes with Backplate too.
Novatech offer free delivery on this card if you can wait 3-4 days.
I'd been looking for this card specifically for a while as it's a great chip, and Sapphire has a good reputation.
Seen slightly higher prices for this exact card and other manufacturers' 4GB R9 380's on HUKD in the last few days, so thought I'd share.
Here are posted specs:
Core: 1010MHz
Memory: 4096MB 5800MHz GDDR5
DirectX 12 Support
AMD CrossFireX Ready
AMD Eyefinity
Dolby TrueHD
2 Year Warranty.

I had AMD cards for 3 generations not a single driver issue and I played all the latest games. This gen i got a GTX 970 as i wanted something for my mini itx case and i got an amazing deal using the ebay 30% off code. Had so many driver issues during the windows 10 upgrade and ton of problems playing fallout 4 whilst my friend who has my previous GPU's had no issues when playing fallout 4 and his PC is nearly identical to mine so not sure why people say Nvidia has better driver support as even with the fallout 4 launch driver i had issues whilst my old graphics cards in crossfire i may add had none with an old profile.
specwise id go for the 380 as it's simply better gruntwise

I've also had very few issues with amd radeon over the years. They are nearly always the best value as well.
Having said that I also went to nvidia this gen due to a similar bargain on a 980ti.

XFX version is £149.99 also. With CES starting this week with all the 2016 GPU announcements I guess its logical prices should start to fall.

Not Win 10s problem then?

This seems a reasonable deal i guess but this is just an old HD7950 with 1gb extra ram and a slight overclock after a couple of rebrandings... AMD really need to get off their asses and bring us something new, hard to believe how lazy they've gotten.

this is a dumb comment. Is the card good? Yes. Is it priced well? Yes. Has it got modern features? Yes. Who care what it is (and it's not a 7950 anyway, since it's a GCN 1.2-based card). And anyway that's not how AMD has bene operating GPU wise ever. If you want a 'newer' architecture for whatever reason, by all means go grab a 960. It'll perform well today, in a couple of years probably not as much considering the precedents. It'll also probably save you around a pound a year on your electricity bill.

Windows 10 is buggy and broken and yet Windows 7 is rock solid.
Had a Xbox one wireless adapter for Windows 10 and could not find the drivers but put it on Windows 7 and it worked straight away lol

Unfortunately both NVIDIA/ AMD have been making money with old cards for years. Look how well the GTX770 did and thats a GTX680 overclocked with higher boost and slightly faster memory :/
The R9 380 is a rebrand of the R9 285. Its actually the newest 1.2 GCN architecture card from AMD and is probably the best value for money in terms of price/ performance/ features in this £150 price bracket.
I do agree on the wider point about rebrands. I understand that advancements all but stalled from NVIDIA/ AMD with the failure of the 20nm manufacturing process. That said I don't think its fair for NVIDIA/ AMD to be rebranding as many cards as they have done in recent years. Just causes confusion and a annoyance from customers when the learn they have an old card with new numbers.
