Hardware authenticity - sp road

[detoknight]

I am going to sp road(bangalore) tomorrow to get a new pc assembled.
How trust worthy are the vendors there.
Now,should i be aware of any bogus shops there?
I need to be absolutely sure that he gives me what i had asked.how do
i know that what he gives is the real deal.
Is there any software that checks & shows me the hardware components &
model names installed on the system?..something like pcaudit?

I have purchased my PC from there. No hardware issues (and it has been 3 years) although Frontech UPS died after two years but that is not something to worry about as this is very common.


Do not worry about authenticity of a piece of hardware. I am sure no one in world (even those Chinese who make fakes) can make an AMD/Intel processor at home. Same goes for HDD and MOBO.
Chill.

For pricing, you can collect quotation of the assembly of your choice from different shops and then decide where do you want to go. You can always bargain 2000-3000 on the price they quote.

Only go for reputed brands, and look at the box carefully not miss anything that should be there or not to be there.
