Absolutely trustworthy, ordered plenty from them. If you are concerned though just pay through PayPal.

Looks like Intel wants to saturate the market by lowering their ridicules prices before AMD releases ZEN :smiley: This might be a very interesting year. I was planing on buying Intel but I decided to wait for ZEN.
Just by looking at pricing model and performance of R7 480 4/8GB (Polaris) vs 970 one can safely say that finally nVidia and Intel will have to stop ripping us off! :sunglasses:

Well fingers crossed for Zen! The 970 is a 2014 card, I don't think this is a sign that Nvidia will change their ways any time soon :disappointed:

Which is best i5-6500 (link) or this? Both similar prices

This is better as it can be overclocked. Even if you don't plan on overclocking I would buy this as the resale value will be more in the future.

Yes at the very least the 6600k has a higher core frequency (3.5ghz) in addition to being a "K" version of the processor - meaning that it is unlocked (basically for the purposes of overclocking).
Got this from overclockers for the same price 3 months ago, may be worth asking them to price match if looking for a reputable seller.

AWD-IT is 0.2 points behind overclockers on trust pilot with a 9.1, I'd say that's pretty reputable.

How do you do the price match at overclockers?!

Btw. Did anyone realised that there is 40 pounds difference of this CPU price between awd-it and other main sellers. That`s a lot of money!!

The RX480 release was OK, just OK. As for Zen I'd only wait if I didn't need a CPU and/or new build now. Considering that Intel have comfortably been in the lead over AMD for the past 10 years, and that AMD have a 100% hype/failure rate in releasing competitive products, my inclination would not be to wait.

Seems pricey for an i5 even if it's cheap compared to others when did i5 go over 200 notes?

It did go over since the Brexit craze and has been increasing non-stop! (No comment on that!!)

Lol, that will be a looooooong wait. Zen will be probably at best comparable with Haswell. It will certainly come nowhere close to the Intel Core i7 6950X.
