Not all.

Asus boards are covered either by BL or Avertek.

Low end boards mostly by avertek. And their Rog boards are by BL.

Gpu included.

In short:

Ban Leong: High Flyer - ASUS Intel legitimate overclockable motherboards (Intel Z/X/P series), ASUS Nvidia graphics cards

Avertek: Underdogs - All other ASUS Intel motherboards (Intel B/H series), ASUS AMD motherboards, ASUS AMD graphics cards

Thanks for updating me guys. If like that, does it means things like Ares 2/295X2 is also under Avertek? Or is it under BL because it's $1999?

That one should be under BL.

Most of the GPU that are specially made like ROG/MARS/MATRIX series are covered by them.

Disappointed. Went down SLS and visited the shop to buy my stuff. End up this no stock that no stock.

The sales tried to recommend me Corsair vs550 for power supply as FSP is out of stock. Due to unknown PS, I decided to drop and hold on my gun for coming weekdays and see how is my luck for FSP.

I am using FSP on my current com and I have no issued with it. Therefore very reluctant to go for unknown PS since I never do any research on that as well.

To Roy:

The CPU recommended is out of stock. Any idea which Haswell and MB is best to go for it? Ivy seems to be running low stock. I guess not many shop would like to keep them.

i5-4570 + asrock b85m pro4 or msi b85m g43. If u need more pcie slots, den b85m g43 as the b85m pro4 is using legacy pci.

If fsp is oos everywhere then the next available psu is to get superflower from mynextcomonline.com

Superflower hx500 500w 80+ gold. If this no stock also please get seasonic g550 550w 80+ gold.

As for the board and cpu. Its kinda fast for them to sell 3 stocks in a week lol.

Next alternative is either Asrock b85m pro4 or the msi b85m g43. Either one and accompanied with a i5-4440.

Thanks guys. Lesson learned. Never go down SLS with just 1 shopping list.
