GeForce GTX 260 HC

[Dj Spiel]

I currently have an 8800GTS 512 *G92* (2) Screens

A.) 28 INCH WIDE
B.) 24 INCH WIDE

I am thinking about getting a new GTX 260...I was looking at this one
http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=896-P3-1269-AR&pwindow=specs&family=GeForce%20GTX%20200%20Series%20Family

My question is this, why is it so cheap? $450????? *SEE BOTTOM* They are losing like almost 80$.... I am not complaing I am just curious like if it's the FULL BLOCK/doesnt look like it comes with fittings

The HYDRO block alone is $180.00

And the card is $344.99

It was either that or this one

CHEAPER and the Memory Clock is a tad higher. Does anyone have the GeForce GTX 260 HC - Includes Co-op Backplate

well a normal non-OC'd gtx 260 is $280 from EVGA. Some brands like PNY even sell it for $250 before rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133229

No idea if the HC one is worth it, anyone know how much higher it can go?

Personally i would just get the vanilla one and OC it to the HC specs
