My new rig and the cost:

Mother Board : ASUS H97 Pro Gamer $408 -tradepac

Graphic Card : ASUS Nvidia GTX 970 STRIX $588 -tradepac

SDD: Samsung Evo 850 500GB $299 - Lazada


HDD : WD Black 4 TB $307 -tradepac

RAM : G Skill RipJaws DDR3 16GB $223 -tradepac

DVD RW ROM : ASUS DVD RW $24 -tradepac

DVD RW ROM : ASUS DVD RW $24 -tradepac

PSU : Seasonic X Series 650W Modular $179 -tradepac


Cooler : CM Hyper 103 cooler $49 -tradepac

Casing : CM Storm Scout 2 $142- PC Theme


OS : Windows 7 Professional $195 -tradepac

Chassis Fan : CM Jet Flo (Blue Led) $120 -$20 each from PC Theme
Arctic MX4 $15 – from PC Theme


Total : $2546 (aft tradepac further cut throat discount)


After going to both PC theme and TradePac to compare price, i notice for Tradepac, for some item like mobo, hdd, they can really bring down the price but they will jack it up in other items like Graphic card , Ram. So really need to see the over all price then compare. But overall still Tradepac cheaperbut you must know your stuff, they try to push a Asus GTX 970 reference card to me, but i reject it straight in his face..lol

As its my 1st time building the PC myself, took me nearly 6 hours, no joke..lol But got sense of satisfaction after that.


Will post pic later.

Can anyone advise me on the duration of the warranty and from which agent for the items below?

Asus H97 Pro Gamer
Asus GTX 970 Strix
G Skill Rip jaw Ram
Seasonic 650W

WD Black 4TB - whats the warranty duration?
Samsung Evo 850 500gb - whats the warranty duration?

Thanks in Advance.

Why compare price when you are so rich to afford ASUS brand and coolermaster.

Why not choose Noctua cooler, they are one of the best air cooling manufacture and expensive as hell too. Even better than Coolermaster.

Jin satki. Push a Asus GTX970 reference card to you and you rejected straight in his face.

Btw, none of Asus 900 series cards are of reference design. ;)

Do you really need that 4tb black wd? Might as well get the blue version way cheaper and for the hdd and ssd what are you gonna store that requires a lot of space? Youre better of buying lesser storage for now den focus on your other components cause storage can anytime upgrade

i find noctua fan ugly..lol
i am not rich la, i do have a budget too, just that i prefer certain over other brand.. for fan wise i did not do much research, so i just stream down to 2 model, the corsiar SP fan and the jet flo, in the end i get Jet Flo, cos better spec and the screw hole are rubberize.
