Sir, i went to a few local dealers to inquire about the prices of ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics cards, Corsair PSUs, Kingston 4GB DDR2 800MHz memory modules (a kit of 2 x 2GB) & Zion 4GB DDR2 800MHz memory modules.
The graphics cards that i have narrowed down to are -
1]
Gigabyte GV-R577SO-1GD
2]
MSI R5770 Hawk
3]
Sapphire HD 5770 1GB DDR5 PCIE
All the local dealers told me they will call & inform me about the prices of the above cards as they do not have the "current price list" & the cards are "not in stock".
The Corsair PSU of my choice is -
CMPSU-850TX (i also wanted to inquire the prices of the TX650 & TX750 but i got the same response as mentioned above)
For the TX850, except for one dealer, the others told me that they do not keep such a "high" PSU in stock!
The one dealer who had the
TX850 told me that it would cost me approximately
12,000 INR with tax.
The Kingston 4GB RAM
kit that i am looking for is -
KHX6400D2K2/4G
Kingston Technology Company - Memory Search - Partsinfo
All the local dealers told me that they have stopped stocking Kingston memory modules as there is no service centre in Goa & many customers are "unhappy" especially when it comes to RMA issues.
As for
Zion, the dealers told me that there is no
kit per se which means i will have to purchase 2 individual modules of 2GB each (fine by me, as long as both are 800MHz
)
But the price quoted is
Rs 2650/- (inclusive of tax) for each module.
It has been quite a hectic day & one of the places i can find relief is here at TDF. (the other, the basketball court
)
Friends, i desperately need your help.
i am going to Mumbai in the 3rd week of October to visit my Dad & i am hoping to make my intended hardware purchases then.
Do you recommend i buy the peripherals in Mumbai or should i consider Delhi or Bangalore as well or should i do my purchases online?
Thank you for bearing with this long & naive post.
