Pretty much zero. Amazon UK will use a padded bag or envelope. Maybe if you order more items and get lucky with a combined shipment.

Which means that list is outdated. TCL are decent TVs especially the 8-series, much better than Hisense let alone Bauhn.

780M is so good that it makes the 3050 6GB look a bit redundant. Dedicated VRAM is nice though.

5950X literally sips power compared to Intel.

5950X has 16 cores and 32 threads. Absolutely demolishes the 12600KF in multi core.

With the 780M being fairly close to a 3050 in performance, it's a pretty pointless combo. Only advantage is dedicated GDDR6 and CUDA (and…

50% is the best case scenario too. Commonly only 10-20% faster which at 30-40fps is almost indistinguishable.
