Every week we try to bring you something new and exciting from the world of PC IT and this week alone there is a massive 30 new products we’ve added to your list.

The new MSI gaming laptops are here, including the first to have NVIDIA’s latest GTX 9 series GPU. The 17 inch i7 powered Windows 8.1 running beast comes with a 2 year warranty, 8GB of DDR3 and 3GB of discreet video memory. Weighing in at just under 4kg, this is no portable ultrabook but it will definitely keep pace with high end desktops when it comes to gaming. Check it out (here). (more…)

The X99 series with all it’s Haswell-E and DDR4 glory has arrived at Evatech. While the components have been available separately for a while, supply is finally steady enough that we have upgraded our previously X79 based Ragnarok custom gaming PCs to the brand new X99 platform.

Your choice of six beastly motherboards to combine with any one of the three Intel Haswell-E series CPU’s and 8 different DDR4 kit options, assembled to order in your choice of case with your choice of accessories, coolers and other components. (more…)

Stock of all the R9 280x and R9 290 and quickly disappearing at all the major Australian distributors and re-sellers. Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Sapphire and XFX distributors are all out of stock of these particular SKUs, with some completely removing the SKU from their catalogs.

With a rumor (now confirmed) that 8GB versions of the R9 290X was due in the coming weeks, we are guessing the R9 280x and 290 will be getting some sort of refresh also. With no known replacement on the horizon for these disappearing cards it’s unlikely they have been completely discontinued. Industry & enthusiast forums speculate the refresh will replace the current Tahiti GPUs with TONGA based GPUs. (more…)
