PCpartpicker price doesn't come close or accurate for sg pricing.

not talking specifically to check prices. just about compatibility and see other people's build. obviously not for cost checking.

Take compatibility with a pinch of salt. May not be updated or wrongly updated (heard cases that mobo size for msi x99 gaming series wrongly classified as atx).
Some though not fully compatible 'force-fits' may work, like I asked on forum regarding e atx compatibility with r5, though not specified, but a tight fit.

Or else just check product specs and compare. In doubt, just ask.

I like the highlighted point

BTW, Tradepac only charge lower price if buying whole system right? Their published price is the cheaper 'system price' right?

Depends on what parts. Expensive parts are more likely to get some discount but don't expect a lot either. Build a few systems there (mine and friend's), the discount varies.

Tradepac price already considered the cheapest in SLS most of the time/parts already imo.

Highly recommend benq 2420z from xtreme solutions at $500... It is the gaming monitor used during all the CS GO competitions e.g esl

27 inch a bit too big for me
