I managed to buy a MSI GeForce GTX 1070 from e-buyer for £295 in December.

It didn't stay at that price for long!

Novatech had an MSI 1060 at £209 the other day, which I bought. I was convinced it was the 3GB model not 6GB when I read their email, but no it's very much correct.

It's only a more basic factory OC'd card, like this one is, no backplate or metal support to stop it bending in the slot, but decent enough cooling runs happily at 65-70c which is supposedly fine for Pascal cards. I would personally buy a higher end cooler-ed 1070 than this one, but go for it if it's ok for you noise wise etc.

Reckon it'll run an Oculus Rift CV1 without much trouble?

Why not go on ebay and have your pick of 980ti's for £250

There are arguably faster than the 1070 at almost everything probably including VR
