This is a black and red theme.

 Do you really need a dvd drive?

[Burusutazu]

^ my wd black was noisier than the barracuda i used to have, although it is faster. (I did get mine on sale though so it was well worth it)

[blueballs]

get a 250gb 850 Evo sdd for your os/games

[Colt_0pz]

remove the optical drive, you don't need it. get an ssd for your OS

[alexhelvetica]

Don't get stuff off MSY.

NO REFUNDS NO EXCEPTIONS is their policy.

[Joshndroid]

Remember shipping from outside australia usually sucks so probably look at prices on pccasegear and bundle it with your other parts your going to get from there to keep the postage down.

 

you also don't specify whether you need or already have a case?

[Joshndroid]

Don't get stuff off MSY.

NO REFUNDS NO EXCEPTIONS is their policy.

 

how do you mean?

under Australian law you must be provided a refund/replacement on defective parts. I'm assuming your talking about change of mind refunds?

They have been fined by the ACCC before and they still have bad return policy and when I built my pc 1 month ago I talked to experienced PC builders and they told me don't take the risk.

thanks for clarification on what your saying. I have really only purchased some fans and cpu cooler from there so i guess im alright.

 

FWIW I found it - https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/msy-technology-penalised-203500-for-false-and-misleading-consumer-warranty

Also their refund policy as a result - http://www.accc.gov.au/system/files/Refunds%20and%20remedies%20counter%20display.pdf

 

I also see that the period of sanction is still covered under the 5 year still

 

Back on topic - You could potentially get a WD blue drive which could free up some cash for a SSD even if it was only 128 - 256GB you can install OS onto it and a couple of your most frequent games then use the WD Blue for bulk storage and non-frequent games

[thesnipingteddy]

ok so i should get this?

250gb 850 Evo sdd 

[thesnipingteddy]

this?

[thesnipingteddy]

so dose the sad work as a cd drive?

[thesnipingteddy]

i probibly don't need a cd drive but i think its best to gave one

[alexhelvetica]

I suggest getting the parts from a single store like PC Case Gear so the parts all arrive at the same time so you can build immediately! 

[thesnipingteddy]

ok will do thanks

[Joshndroid]

No nothing works as a CD drive other than a CD drive. The ssd will improve response and general application loading..

Use partpicker, may help you find better deals on the things your buying

[Guest]

Looks like you'd be paying a lot more than you should for your processor. Maybe look at this -

I returned some RAM 2 days ago, no issues at all.

 

If you have opened the packaging they charge a 10% re-stocking fee, no big deal.

Was the ram damaged or DOA?

I purchased two different kits in case one of them wasn't compatible with the old board I was upgrading (775)

 

First kit I tried and it didn't post so I tried the second one which worked then I returned the other to MSY.

Sorry but i have heard bad stuff about their return policy from my friends, my IT teacher and the IT tech support at my school who have dealt with them before.

I was told they will be cheaper but if there is a DOA it will be hard to get the warranty.
