Custom Gaming Rig Advice Needed

[ragnarok95]

Would you suggest the 3GB AMP ver? Or shd I just go for this:
https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForc...qid=1493697542&sr=1-1&keywords=zotac+gtx+1070

You buy that GTX1070 from amazon i rather you buy Palit GTX1070 @ S$580 from lazada. Warranty is covered locally by Convergent.

But ~$110 more ex sia

But ~$110 more ex sia

USD339.99 + 23.80 = USD363.79 = ~S$508.

You wanna save ~S$80 for warranty. Unless you are rich, i do not suggest to do so.

 

[poooooo]

Hmm from what I can find now on Amazon,

Zotac 1060 6GB AMP - 244.99 USD - 342 SGD (Better than the voucher)
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2400Mhz C16 - 119.99 USD - 168 SGD (best price so far also)
Evga SuperNOVA P2 650W - 109.99 USD - 154 SGD (Makes it down into my budget range)

Problem is AMD Ryzen doesn't ship to SG..

i dont get it why you so insist on getting evga when its the same thing as superflower.

Leadex Silver 550W Full Modular 80+ Silver (5yr wty) @ $100
Leadex Silver 650W Full Modular 80+ Silver (5yr wty) @ $115

(Leadex II Gold Same Specifications As EVGA SuperNOVA G3 Power Supplies)
Leadex II Gold 650W Full Modular 80+ Gold (5yr wty) @ $158

all these prices also include local 5 year warranty which will come in handy for psu, one of the parts most prone to failure.

PSU is not really the most prone to failure, but most expensive to ship back due to weight.

I believe he can help source for you. U can call him up and ask.

Im not sure if PCT would allow semi-purchased items and help u assemble. Best to call them up as well.

Take note, not everything is cheap in amazon as compared to local. With the rise of qoo10, i can get some items cheaper than what amazon is offering and still comes with local warranty.

For TS, he probably should buy discounted online shipping use self collect, bring the balance of item that shipped from home to nigel shop. Still will have balance for taxi fare and assembly and full warranty for hardware.

So far the only part that might be worth buying on Amazon is only:
-SSD (Crucial MX300 intl wty, send singpost ~$5 return free probably via fedex priority)
-PSU (EVGA P2 10 yr intl wty RMA taiwan).

Otherwise distros with the likes of TD quite gd, PSU issue normally quick 1 for 1 exchange.

Rest local will be a better choice.

I messaged Nigel, he recommended FSP Hydro G 650W for PSU, any reviews on this?

Hydro G is fine but SF leadex 550w is at $139 compared to $159.

Perhaps you yourself could do a mixture of online shopping + shopping at physical shops and bring all stuff down to nigel's shop for assembly.

650W vs 550W le. Some people rather take the extra 100W.
