4850 got lost in post, getting refund. Which card to buy now?

Early Christmas present Eh ? ;)

Nah scout is just that awesome he sent the mobo to linkin even tho linkin didn't have the money yet. Who does that? Most people wouldn't send something without having the money first but scout is just a cool guy. He even threw in a green cold cathode and some AS5 in for free.

Your awesome scout:P
 
Maybe you shoudl try shipping GTS 250 from UK :P They are cheap as anything, especially XFX models, even 1GB version are under 100 pounds. Do conversion yourself :]
 
Sounds good, but how many power connectors do they need?

EDIT: Scout is the man :) Let's hope my mobo gets here tomorrow. tomorrow is 10 working days so pray to the god of computers/postage systems for me! :D

I have boxes full of computer parts that just sit here and collect dust. I have given tons of stuff to friends for their builds. I almost have all the extra things gone now.

I am going to hook somebody up with a Q9300 for a good price soon...when I get the E8400 from lovely?:D

I still have a couple things for sale;)

I don't understand how that would save him any money at all. He would have to pay for shipping which I'm sure would probably double the price of the card. It isn't cheap to have something shipped 10,500+ miles.

P.S 100 punnds=$176 Au

To me that is high considering a 4850 only cost me $95 USD/59 GBP/$104 AU.

The GTS 250 only uses one.

Yea I have a ton of stuff laying around also but I'm not ready to give anything away just yet I still might need it one day.

Why you trading a Q9300 for an E8400? You gonna to OC it or something.

For about the next 14 months I will be gone...my wife will use my computer. She just checks email and chats with me while I am not home. I will have this Quad sitting here almost idle for over a year...and when I return...the household Commander has already given my permission for a new build (I don't think she knows what she agreed to:D). All my wife will need is a Dual Core.

When I get back...my current rig will be my daughter's new computer. Her Dell is getting almost 4 years old now. Still runs like a champ and is a great computer. I already have major plans for a case for her:D The Evga 780i, E8400 and the GTX 260 would be perfect for my daughter;)

There are some members wanting a Quad for a while now...might as well hook somebody up:D

Oh yea that's right you have to ship out again soon. Man 14 months that's a long time.

Linkin here is looking for a new CPU once he gets that mobo from you. He might take it off your hands.
