Scan are currently offering a bundle with a 6700XT for £1400. Total cost of part excluding gpu: £762 Effective gpu cost: £638
Half of that £200 premium is just the usual Asus Tax, so it is only £100 more than it should be. Not like that matters too much... since it is far too much either way for a low end GPU.
CCL are at it again. 20mins ago, they had an EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra for... Spoiler £2399.99 Tweet— Twitter API (@user) date

I got mine three weeks ago, for £1550* (and a Lenovo tablet in trade), from a workmate.

Gawd bless her for agreeing. *OK, I did spend around £40 on new thermal pads, so we'll round it up to £1600
Lol almost £2.5K for a consumer graphics card. My regret for selling my 1080 just keeeeps on growin’.
