Glad you had a good experience with CEX I had 2 shockers. First one graphics card arrived with screws missing and one that was there was only half in and bent. Second time ordered 8gb ddr3 laptop memory they sent desktop memory which I could have used but it was DOA. I wont be giving CEX a third chance.

Well I will be uploading a video at some point where I will no longer be recommending CEX had 2 in quick succession CPU's both with bent pins, decided to exchange for a GPU they sent me one R9 290 DOA followed quickly by another DOA and finally an RX570 that had clearly been mined on. I gave up returning that one did a fresh bios install to original bios and changed thermal paste and it works and that will be the last time I use CEX.

Failed to mention that two of the three sites aren’t in the USA and cant shop at all if you aren’t in the uk but good video.

I brought a Gtx 670 4gb from Cex, I waited for one to go in stock it came but was only a 2gb card. However the 2gb and 4gb card are the same price and I don't want to refund it and have to wait for a 4gb card

I'm using something similar to gumtree here in Germany... my recent experiences: 4 GPU I ordered never arrived, so I'm currently waiting for Paypal buyer protection to kick in. R9 270 2GB MSI Gaming -> 35€ incl. shipping (works) GTX 760 2GB (Gainward Phantom) -> 20€ (works) GTX 780 3GB (Gainward Phantom GLH) -> 60€ (works) GTX 960 2GB (Asus ROG Strix) -> 50€ (works) GTX 960 2GB (EVGA FTW) -> 56,40€ incl. shipping (works) HD7970 3GB (Sapphire Dual-X) -> 55€ (on it's way, at least I got a tracking number) 10x 40GB 2,5" SATA HDD 40€ (works ) (for a bunch of PS3 I got for free because their optical drives are broken... gonna crack them :P) 1x PC with Q9650 (and a super retro Zalman cooler), 2x2GB DDR2 RAM, HD 7750, a 800w modular PSU and a heavy case full of dust... as well as a 1440x900p monitor -> free. (sidenote: 1440x900p is one of my favorite resolutions). 1x Old LG 28" 720p TV -> free. 1x HP xw6600 with dual E5450 Xeons, a USB 3.0 card and 14GB Ram (gonna replace it for 32gb kit, tough) -> 46€ 2x Dell T5400 with single CPU (gonna upgrade them to dual cpu once I find the heatsinks for a reasonable price) -> 40€ each. 1x Dell GX780 (I think was it) with Q6600, 3gb RAM, a HDD and a old HD2400 gpu... 10€. Didn't actually want it, it was more or less thrown in with the T5400s. 1x Miditech i2 25-key Midi Keyboard -> 15€ ... got 5€ back because the pitch isn't working properly. 500gb Icy Box external HDD and 400gb external WD drive 16,99€ incl. shipping... got 5€ back because the WD's HDD was dead. 400gb Allnet SAS (no clue how those things work... just took the HDD out >_>) + 500gb WD my Book for free, altough the WD has some pending sectors. A free but slightly defect Intex Air Bed (it doesn't lose air, just 2 of the small bulges (?) have become one)... I was always curious if those things are actually legit or just some teleshopping garbage, but didn't want to waste money. And as far as I tested it so far, it's actually quite cool. a 80w Sony subwoofer, also for free a PS2 FAT incl. some Games, a Controller and the wiring for 15€.. a broken (doesn't read disks anymore) PS2 slim incl. some games and 3 (1 original) Controllers, 1 one original Memory Card and the wiring for free (was supposed to cost 10€ working, but they tested it while I was on my way and it didn't work anymore... so I got it for free). a old Asus Laptop with broken keyboard for 5€... (has a dual core pentium in it). a Samsung Netbook for free... ironically it came with 2 Win7 licenses (they upgraded the "light version" to the full version by buying a full version seperately, win 10 upgrade didn't care about the version, tough). and a 1440x900 Fujitsu-Siemens Montior for 10€. on eBay: 2x 32GB DDR2 FB-Dimm (8x4GB) for 36€. 2x 4GB (2x2GB) Kits DDR2 RAM (unbranded, I'm quite sure the chips on them aren't officially rated for 800mhz) for 2,62€ and 4,49€ 4x Windows 10 Pro Keys for ~10€ in total ...^^" 1x Sony PS2 Memory Card with Free Mc Boot (allows to softmod PS2 to play from USB) -> 3,50€ 3x Football-Shaped sticky-pads for cars etc. ... for free, because eBay had a code for up to 3€ worth of football fan articles for free. 1x Adapter that allows to put IDE HDDs in a PS2 (like the original network adapter, but without the network part), 10,08€.
