Yeah.. as expected the price was way too good to be true, but I had to try :biggrin:

The seller contacted me and said the products were listed at the wrong price and all of the items were pulled from the store front. Apparently they received something like 3000 orders for everything from GPU's to i5's and RAM all at crazy low prices. I'm not gonna bother spending weeks fighting to only end up with nothing so I cancelled the order. I had ordered an extremely well priced corsair PSU from them as well to go with the GPU but it looks like that's getting cancelled too ;)

That said, it's probably a good thing because I noticed that my old PSU only has a six pin PCI-E power connector and no other connectors other than molex. I've read bad things about using the molex to PCI-E adapter so I guess I'm going to be limited by the PSU. The 950 is supposed to take a 6 pin connector I believe and is now supposedly launching on the 20th - so that may be the way I end up going.
