5 of 5Best bang for your buck(s) Monday, February 09, 2009 A Customer from NH
I am a recent newcomer to Buy.com for my computer related parts and accessories. I was very pleased to find the price to be comparable with other Online retailers. But by using a coupon code and having discounted the shipping the overall price was cheaper than any others offering.
Shipping was as expected and on time. I like that they kept me notified by email of the status of the delivery.
The XFX brand is top notch, the warranty's and support are great. The card was smaller than my XFX 7900gtx that it replaced, however make sure you have a good quality power supply, I had to upgrade my Antec 430 power supply to a Antec 500/650 because it called for two PCIe power plugs, and XFX does not recommend using the power cable converter dongle to PCIE, though I'm not sure why they ship one with it.
