I talked to Shan, but he's always distracted & wabbly on the pricing.
Got 1 guy with specs with the ai mai, ai mai attitude... Who's the boss?

Look for kumar

 

[Ark Law]

Who's the boss?

Just stand at the shop and observe for 5 mins, surely you can tell who's boss

 

[royfrosty]

What is both you and your friend budget?

There is another one. But rarely seen. That one is the actual ceo. Not sure any of you have seen. Quite feirce looking. Formal shirt. With ALOT of gold bracelet and bangles on both wrist with a gold necklace. Formal wear. Do not talk to customers. Only counting money and other admin stuffs. Sales always handled by staffs and kumar himself.

Will try Kumar. Think the CEO u mentioned is the bling bling guy... "Want to buy, buy la..."

btw will Tradepac definitely be able to price match for every single item?
Apparently some of their stuff (except mobo) are quoted more exp than MNC

Paiseh for the confusion. $1.7k is for each com.

1 system will be on 760gtx (Photoediting), 1 will be on 770gtx (BF4).

Was checking if the prices for the parts (or alternative) are decent.
Prices(lowest) stated are complied from some of the shops I checked.
Not sure can get cheaper or not

 

[royfrosty]

1.7k cannot get an oc rig lah.

Be realistic a bit.

Your 770 rig, are you still going for SLI? If no sli, then it is possible.

 

[royfrosty]

1.7k for both. Drop the K processor, drop the cooler. Save even more.

Drop the idea of 256gb ssd. 128gb enough for OS installations.

hi royfrosty, when you said 128gb enought for OS installation, could you provide some insights as to what about the other program installation like MS Office, Adobe, video editing application, games etc? Would 128gb still be enough to install all these additional stuffs or these non-OS stuffs are installed elsewhere on a normal harddisk? Thanks.

List down all the programs you wish to install in ssd. Certain things like ms office don't need it to be in ssd. Adobe video editing and only selected games are best in ssd. Certain games don't even need an ssd to run.

If you only install adobe, and video editing programs 128gb is enough.

 

[ragnarok95]

120/128GB SSD is more than enough for OS, photoshop, office plus a few games.
