    Gang,

    I'm sure this has been posted somewhere. Please link if someone has an answer.

    I am trying to find a reliable place to buy the 880m for my Alienware 17. I live in Toronto Canada and was going to order it through upgrade monkey.

    If someone can confirm the most reliable source I am eager to upgrade. Also do I have to order a heat sink separately to match the new card (upgrading from 770m)?

    Thank you.

    Eurocom would probably have better support since they're based in Canada, and might be a bit cheaper on the price too. Upgrademonkey is all about $$$
