Buying from Dabs or Overclockers?

sparkiemalarkie

Hi my son wants to buy quite an expensive graphics card.
The best price is from Dabs or Overclockers and comes with a free game.


I haven't dealt with these companies before.


When he built his PC most parts came from Ebuyer or Amazon. We had issues with a couple of parts and both Ebuyer and Amazon were fantastic at replacing them.
These sites are quite a bit more expensive than Dabs or Overclockers and Amazon doesn't include the game.


any thoughts please on Dabs or Overclockers?


thanks

I've purchased from Dabs a couple times, they're fine.

I've never bought from Overclocker's, but they seem reputable enough to me, and they have an active forum.

I've bought from both and were fine. Dabs are the bigger company, OC are smaller.

Thanks for the replies.
I was concerned about how easy things can be returned if they are faulty or unsuitable.
The graphics card makes me feel ill ! It is very, very expensive £500 + but he has saved his own money and done the research.

I am desperate to talk him down to something cheaper....... not that he will listen.

Any idea what PC set up & screen set up he is having?
