^^ just hook up 6x 24inch monitors and a grab a pair of Ares II and don't forget to get a quality X79 mobo and a Xeon E5 2687W - after ll a $1500 GPU needs a $1950 cpu to go with and this thread is taking it's turn towards trolling

some Kid with a serious fat purse and a serious slim brain.

btw, Asus wont ship this to india for sure..

Found that price for top notch AMD nvidia cards are few thousand bucks cheaper in here than india, not by a great margin but it is. May be because of doller->IDR rate is too high and the INR conv rate falls between, the net difference is more than gross and by some really complicated and crappy old pen and paper calculation it comes cheaper!!!

Electronics are cheaper almost everywhere except in India, the greedy Indian govt.

Yes. For last 2 years, price of different and equivalent components are increasing. Increase in tax, dury + VAT and not to forget excessive profiteering practice of some importers. One starts and other follow.
If you look at most of te components, their INR price if almost 80-85INR ~ 1USD, when you compare with USA price. Exceptions are there.
This used to be around 55-60INR ~ 1USD only two years ago.

dunno much about the financial exchanges here, so gonna zip mah lip in this case.

but one thing is sure, Greedy Indian govt taking out from the pockets of the poor and moderates..
