Same question here. ;P

Good question. The cheapest is KLEVV Bolt 4 8GB 2400 and even that is 119$.

Also another question is why not wait for B360 boards instead of pairing 8100 with a Z board?

I doubt you will get much discounts on top of what's usually available.

11.11 the most i got was an extra 10$ Prices of products are usually identical.

Spent so much le but skimp on that psu?? If bought from shop, see if can return and topup for a better model.

Nothing wrong with xigmatek tauro

Lazada has one China brand for $26.
Quite heavy and sufficient.

Except... Tauro G might not meet Gold at all. The specs look more like a double forward converter instead of the modern ones. Double forward converter impossible to achieve gold, Bronze also a bit hard. When they do that, it's time to worry.

Ok thx have changed it to CM masterbox lite

Tecware Edge TG

1 stick Kingston Valueram is cheap.

toshiba 2TB hdd $80++ only.... think more worth than WD 1TB....

Really should go for GD550. I have had a few who bought the G650 because they didn't know and it has already failed... and taken out components. Also, because they say gold doesn't mean it is gold... or even good.
