Why not purchase online?

Why not purchase online?

i heard online purchase don't have customer support, if want to claim warranty.

If they didn't gave warranty, why are people still buying them online?

 

[anandharaja]

^^ ok i will discuss about purchasing that in online to my relation. Please tell the samsung monitor. and harddisk is seagete model.

Dell S2240L (IPS Panel, 1920*1080p resolution) is the best one you can get in your budget. In that range, samsung monitors have TN Panels with 1366*768p resolution. A monitor with that resolution is not worth buying in 2015.

WD is better, seagate gives refurbished drives in RMA.

Forget Samsung, get Dell S2240L and a WD Blue 1 TB HDD. Get Seagate only of WD is not available.

Today enquried about the prices, the retalier asked to go for i3 4130 and Asus 85 Chipset board. if i go with that what M/B model i choose. dell also available but he recommended to gor for LG because of service availability.

 

[rijinpk1]

how much does that b85 asus cost?
dell service is really great. dont believe these guys. they want to sell what they have,not what customer wants.

The shopkeeper doesn't offers service for warranty, the OEM does. Where do you live?
i3 4130 was released in July 2013. 4150 is an updated version of 4130.
B85 will only increase your budget unnecessarily with no practical gain for your requirement.

Don't buy what the shopkeeper says, he's there to do business.

AOC one costs more than the Dell one and will increase OP's budget.

AOC one costs more than the Dell one and will increase OP's budget.

it was available for 9k locally(ofcourse higher than dell),but online prices are even more higher.
it is also a very good monitor and can be considered as an alternative to s2240l.

he generally said b85 M/B cost is 5550 not sure about the model. dell also available he said avoid samsung. for fast service in my locality LG is good.

Tamilnadu (Namakkal) He said 4150 have some problem not sure about that. ok if i go for 4130 which M/B can i choose Asus/Gigabyte. what about intel M/B? i like to enquire about this configuration to other retalier also. So tell ASUS /Gigabyte / Intel M/B for 4130/4150.

Intel DB85FL M/B is ok?

 

[adityak469]

get a H81 mobo. Forget about B85. For monitor get what rijinpk1 suggested. Dell S2240L is way too glossy and you would end up disliking it probably.

 

[anandharaja]

^^ Please suggest the different brand H81 motherboard models, gigabyte that model not available in my location.

 

[SaiyanGoku]

^ BIOSTAR H81MHP2 = 3600

Gigabyte one has HDMI port, not sure about the biostar one, though official page says it has. Couldn't find other h81 mobo with HDMI for the budget.

OT: I know you're concerned about the genuineness and warranty support of the parts bought online, but buying a not so good component because the better one isn't available on the spot is not worth it.

 

[anandharaja]

^^ in my locality mostly they have intel , asus some specific model Gigabyte M/B. now my problem is to findout the monitor and motherboard as mentioned in the first post. i talked with my relative he is not intrested to purchase online and like to buy only in local. so if i don't get the M/B as specified, can i go for intel DB85FL M/B. whats wrong with the combination of 4130 and h85 chipset board? any thing is wrong please tell. i know price is bit high, i explained to him he said its ok. other than price any problem?

if GIGABYTE GA-H81M - S2PH is available means which revision can i go? latest is 2.1

Take a look at this page - LGA 1150 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

H81 vs B85

Max ram slots - 2 vs 4
Max USB 3.0 ports - 2 vs 4
Max Sata 3.0 ports - 4 vs 2

Try to find B85 based board. Tell us what's available in your place and we might be able to suggest the best out of it.
