Tradepac any good?

[bhtan83]

TP ofc, as the title suggest. But honestly, I asked a question and they didn't even bother to look at me. He walked away to talk to his other counterpart. Then I was about to ask a second question, one of his "friend" happen to walk past and he casually talk to him as well, and all of this happened when I was standing in front of him with the highlighted parts from their price list eager for his quote.

Edit: after which, an uncle with a kid walked past, and he eagerly talked to him with the price list, budget etc. And I was forgotten so I walked out

it happened to me too. actually it applies to all Indian shops in sls.

You sure you buying the right stuffs?

Asrock b75m pro4???

With a

I5 4440 ???

Change the gtx760 to MSI or gigabyte r9 280x. Same price and better performance. Equivalent to gtx770.

 

[huangteng]

Sorry. I meant B85M Pro4 with i5-4440. Mobile device hard to type with.

Prefer Nvidia GPU.

Please help with pricing. Thanks.

 

[royfrosty]

Lol. You rather pay more with lesser performance.

And just get the i5-4570, notice no HDD? Take the crucial 240gb m500. Local got promo at $235. Either that or you buy at amazon at around $180 SGD.


Anyway Asrock b85m pro 4 + i5-4570 ~ $347
Crucial 8gb 1600mhz ~ $89
Crucial m500 240gb ~ $235 or $180
Msi gtx760 2gb twin frozr ~ $395
Superflower hx500 500w 80+ gold ~ $89
Silverstone sg10 ~ $165
Windows 7 home premium 64bit OEM ~ $115

Thing to note. Cpu+motherboard bundle prices r only applicable if u buy full system from them.

If u just want to buy cpu n motherboard, u will have to pay more than what u see on their pricelist

 

[huangteng]

Roy bro, thanks for the fast replies.

Yes no HDD, as critical data will be stored on NAS. Only need SSD for OS and programs. In future, may get WD Black from amazon.

For GPU, did quite a bit of research on tom's, techpowerup etc. They recommend gtx760 for best performance at Usd250 price point. That's why I went for it.
The R9 280X is how much? Cos I saw you wrote before gtx760 with HX500 for $459.

R9 280x arranging from cheapest

Powercolor $404
Gigabyte $425
Msi $440

No point buying the gtx760. $459 is last time Mynextcom promo. Now no more already.

 

[huangteng]

Ok Bro. Thanks. Seems like the SSD and GPU prices are not so good. The rest are fine. Still able to get mobo and CPU price at TP if don't buy SSD and GPU?

If you buy a lot of items from them should be able to get pricelist priced.

 

[huangteng]

Many thanks, Roy. Will make a trip down and try my bargaining skills.

Roughly must pay how much more for cpu+mobo alone?

But afterwards still can bargain down right?

$20-$30. Can bargain and see how much can get.

Dear gurus,

maybe getting a pc from tradepac to play BF4. For now, due to budget constraint will have to stick with R9 270. Can I check whether MSI B85 G43 MB is good enuff? Or should I pay more? and if so any recommended MB?

Good enough. Don't need an expensive mobo. But what's your budget that you are comfortable at?

 

[toonus88]

Ard S$1300 for i7 and a decent enuff graphic card for BF4. I have an intel SSD from amazon which i can install myself.

 

[goenitz33]

why do you need an i7 to game?

get an i5 and you can get a R9 280X or GTX770
