Oh sorry, I think you misunderstood me. I am currently in the US and am planning to bring them along in my luggage in a week's time. Could I now buy them without duty considering the value is under 800 usd?
I understand. Thanks @nac. I will pay customs then, as I am relocating to the US for higher education in an year's time anyway.
I seriously thought that I could buy a few items for personal use under 800usd without customs. :/
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')

I'm buying components from the US, where I am getting 1700x and 7700k for the same price. And the 7700k trounces the 1700x according to most single core benchmarks. It even beats the 1800x in many of the benchmarks. I can still change my order as it hasn't shipped yet, if you could tell me the...
I don't want to overclock and am happy with stock speeds. I bought a K just because it was almost similarly priced in a sale and I was planning to buy a cooler anyway.
I literally picked up the cheapest motherboard with nvme support and decent connectivity.
Is there any other downside I'm...

I own a 3yr old dell vostro 3550 lappy. It has graphics switchable between Intel hd 3000 and radeon hd 3550. I had not updated the drivers since the purchase, so i installed catalyst drivers for win7 64 bit. But then the system started behaving oddly and even counter strike started hanging while...
This month's (July 14) has OpenOffice, which is pretty much the big brother of LibreOffice with better plugin support. Install it! And cheers for going open source!
I agree! 5400rpm drives aren't upto the mark...
Was just watching a comparison vid b/w two laptops, when it came to data transfer, 5400rpm-54mbps, 7200rpm-186mbps!
PHEW!
Hey this may seem like a fix. Right click on the disk and click Properties. Now under security section, select SYSTEM instead of whatever is selected and click Apply. Now reboot your system and reply if it works or not
I have experienced this problem on my netbook. Now what I'd like you to do is boot into ubuntu and copy this code into the terminal
sudo apt-get install gksudo
gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
Now change this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet...
Operation Flashpoint series is quite nice, and quite difficult to play at higher difficulty settings! IMHO, red river was graphically more appealing and more difficult than dragon rising but the latter had a better story and the setup was amazing. Not the best of military simulations while not...
It is a malware application with an icon same as a Windows folder icon. Now either scan your system with a latest antivirus or use Daphne (A free software) to kill all processes that are using the application, and then delete it.
First of all your GRUB (Linux Bootloader) won't be deleted, just be overwritten by the Windows Bootloader
You can easily do it with a software called EasyBCD. Install Windows like you normally would and then install EasyBCD. Go to Add New Entry>Linux/BSD. Select GRUB2 and select the partition...
