Just for discussion sake only - won't the distributors earn more than $56, assuming they pay MSRP?

449 * 1.7 = $763.30
449 * 1.45 = $651.05

$763.30 - $651.05 = $112.25, which is what the distros earn before tax? Our Singapore corporate tax really so high, from $112.25 can tax the distributors almost 50% until they earn only $56? Or am I missing something?

To emphasize, I'm just asking to understand, and don't mean to contradict you or anyone else.

You have to look at net profit after deducting expenses like rental, salary, warranty-related costs etc. Ban Leong's financial statements are available publicly on SGX. Profits (if any) are not as high as most people here seem to think.

Gave in. Splurged on the Aftershock Ultracore. Bless me.

Make me wonder how much does a full custom loop system cost with:


I7-6950X
MSI Godlike gaming
GTX 1080 SLI
64GB Trident 4GHz DDR4
Samsung 500GB NVMe 950 Pro in RAID 0

Acer Predator X34 :s22:

Why can't Singapore follow US brand direct sale model instead of current distributorship middlemen model... :(

Quite OT, but for curiosity's sake, a low net profit doesn't mean the owners of the shop/company isn't earning big right? E.g. If I pay myself very well, and it's deducted from gross profit, my net profit figure will end up low?

E.g., For FY2015 http://www.banleong.com/corporate/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/BanLeong_AR2015_SGX.pdf

Sales: $136m
Inventories: $24.6m
Staff salaries: $8m
Directors/management salaries: $1.55m
Dividends: $1.16m
Rental:$0.983m
Profit after tax $0.874m

Looking at the average, can we say for every $1000 sale/revenue in FY2015, $180 was cost of inventory, $58 went to pay staff, $11 went to pay directors and upper management, $8.50 went to pay shareholders, $5.80 went to pay rent, $6.40 was profit...etc? Dunno lah, noob at reading AR... eyes blur already.

Guys, my current monitor is using native 1900x1200 resolution (DELL 24").
Do I really need GTX 1070 to get 100+ FPS on latest games? or should I settle with 2nd hand of GTX 970/980 as they are good enough for my usage?

My guess? Yes, but maybe not ROTTR, Quantum Break (not even 50fps) and future titles. Then again, 1080 isn't capable for QB & future titles as well.

For non-max. settings, why not? For max. settings though ... no way (for demanding titles).

You want to buy a 1080/1070 in sim lim don't just go to those popular shops like pctheme, fuwell, cybermind etc. You know these are popular of cos their cards will tend to sell out fast. And distro don't just supply cards to these shops, they are some lesser known shops that also take in 1080/1070 to sell.

My point is, go walk ard and open your mouth to ask in diff shops for the stock. Don't just go to that few and comment no more stocks and self pwn yourself.
