Where to find a gtx 970 in uk

[brownie1992]

So i want this card and and want it in the reference design or whatever it is and a friend said the one that they have on on overclockers site looks the same but will not be in the same box and there wont be any case sticker etc

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-205-OK

he also said that he does not think they sell them in the uk fully new in the box from nvidia only in the united states and from the store best buy and that they do not ship to the uk is this true and is there no other way to get one in the uk brand new

They can ship to the UK but it's not worth the cost with the VAT and import duty.
Either go with OcUK Titan style cooler or go with a non-reference GTX 970.
Its reported that the OcUK gtx 970 is a higher build quality as it uses a GTX 980 PCB and components and a genuine Nvidia cooler. I wouldn't worry about the box nor the sticker burt you can ask them if they willing to add it.
You may get a haribo bag if you do decide to get it from OcUK.

There aren't any Titan style GTX 970 other than the one at OcUK.
I believe Newegg will ship certain items to the UK but it's more expensive than getting one from a UK retailer.

That card is a custom made part, brand new and only sold by OCUK, others sell cards with blower coolers but ONLY that one has the full Titan type cooler and GTX980 PCB.

Suztera: Their Haribo is very nice, too! 😉
