OCUK is the lowest price I can get computer hardware shipped to my country, the few decent local retailers are significantly more expensive even when considering shipping costs. That and ordering from half-way across the world is faster.

This exception is Skyrim with lots and lots of texture mods installed. As most of my gaming time is spent in Skyrim (and because my parents had declared my GPU to be a money-no-object-within-reason 18th birthday present) I decided the extra money for the 4GB card was worth it. There is, however, a slim chance that when new games start filling the PS4 and XBone's RAM with textures, a 4GB card will help in PC games, but given that these consoles bottleneck isn't really texture quality, this isn't so likely.I certainly will never be going that silly, not any time foreseeable. I spent my fair time on Skyrim before but it's unlikely I'll be touching it much, the charm wore off for me. Had a great deal of texture mods which made my 670 4GB sweat a little. I say the 280X 3GB is a nice sweet spot.
