RiP, I dont think its supposed to be that expensive for 1.6k (SGD?)

 

My PC (UNLOCKED i5, GTX 970) Cost me 1.8k SGD (Though didnt have a SSD). You only have a 750ti, and a last gen CPU and its 1.6k? Not to mention the <500GB HDD. Not worth it IMO.

 

Where are you buying it from? Its hella expensive. And yes, I live in Singapore too.

actually I'm just complaing for the sake of it. I actually can run every game on max with the 750Ti, my CPU is also overclocked to 4.1 GHz although its supposed to be locked(its actually not). Also because I am using a 1440x900 monitor.

Wait ... So that means the prices in my country is still sane ? God bless my country's price in New Electronics ... 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

I see. Can we know which shop U acquired the parts from so that we can gauge? IMO, SGD1.6k for Ur build should be OK.

I am looking at the pricelists and only TradePac has EVGA GTX780SC.

 

There must be a reason why distributors don't bring them in.

Agreed

btw how much a Titan X cost in Singapore ? 

according to current rate 1SGD=0.75USD , US$1000 = SGD1.335

TradePac: SGD1798 (B price)

Bizgram: SGD1779

Fuwell: SGD1799

PC Themes: SGD1799

Cybermind: SGD1799

 

Average: SGD1794.8 = USD1345.5; Expensive, right? Take into account rental and import taxes.
