Knock them $1350. Im pretty sure they will try to recount. If they think can make they will say ok. If cannot then they will see how much they can counter offer you.

Oh....... Then if i swap gigabyte r9 280x for msi r9 280x will do the same thing right? Because i heard that gigabyte one fan noise very loud

I believe gigabyte, asus and msi are one of the most quietest in fan noise... At most like 1-3db diff.

Now, mynextcom got deepavalipromo for r9 280x + superflower hx600w:

MSI : $529
Sapphire : $539

Can consider getting them as well.

Tell you what. Hoot the gpu and psu if you want now. Msi r9 280x 3gb twin frozr + superflower golden green hx600 600w 80 + gold efficiency ~ $ 529 at mynextcom deepavali promo. Cheaper.

I am not in Singapore and i am not a Singaporean but i can bargain like ****, i have been to Singapore like 3 times and i have bargained for a lot of products from Smartphones to Computer parts. One little advice to save 100 odd $. Don't buy the OS and download it urself and install it. You can save 100$ and put in getting a better part like saying a better VGA or sell ur monitor and get a new one..

I think i will get them all together next month at the same time bah scared i buy the components now i cant take good care of them. Play safe better.
Thank you everyone for the advises!

Or ask tradepac to price match.
