why is does the g4560 cpu seem to be out of stock everywhere?Is it currently in short supply or has intel started to cut down its production drastically to boost the sale of their i3 cpus?

Does anyone know what exactly is a pc3-12800S type ram?Is it meant for use in desktops or laptops?

I found a pretty good deal on a corsair 4gb ddr3 module on ebay-the seller claims its a desktop ram but has listed is as a pc3-12800S type module-after googling a bit i learned that S in the description stands for SO-DIMM,which means its a laptop ram.Can anyone confirm whether its true or not?Will such a ram work in a desktop?

Desktop ram & laptop ram are different in size(laptop ram is about half the length of desktop ram) so they won't even fit in other's slot.SO-DIMM are indeed laptop ram but they are also used in many mini-itx desktop mobo/intel atom kits(these mobos are so small in size that no space for regular length ram slots).

^found some sellers offering corsair vengeance ddr3 modules (4gb) for about 1.5k-does that sound like a good deal?

not bad as corsair offers lifetime / 10 years warranty on such modules and you only need s/n to claim warranty.

If you are buying second hand, also have a look at the detailed Warranty Statements of Corsair here.
I have no experience in claiming any warranty on my Corsair RAMs so far, so I can not state affirmatively but the following statements from the warranty clause might affect the claim procedure if they are strictly being followed by Corsair support in India just in case.

CORSAIR provides a non-transferable warranty to the purchaser of CORSAIR hardware product purchased from an authorized CORSAIR reseller

To exercise your warranty rights, you must present a sales receipt and provide product serial number information.

Corsair RAMs generally have a good longevity, so as such if it's in working condition there's no harm in buying from local sellers.

So far RMAed corsair PSUs twice - did not need to show the bill even a single time. Also though not recommended normally a bill can be made if there's an extreme need ;)

Yes, however I always make it a point to get the bill with serial number printed on it wherever possible. If the shopkeeper refuses to do so for big items like RAM, HDD, Motherboards etc I do not buy from such a shop.

I was getting 16gb corsair stick last year for 8400 sealed without bill from a store pre gst but didn't buy it for warranty reasons.

A store selling without tax invoice is highly unlikely and suspicious - the kit probably has not been imported through proper distributor / importer.

and rx 580 is available for around 24k-have gpu prices started reducing of late? 6gb 1060s are still as expensive as ever though,unfortunately.
Many 1060 6gb models are available for ~24-25k,is it still too expensive.I thought their lowest prices were around 22-23k.

I got the 6gb Zotac last year for 22.5k. Got it durong the mining craze. The normal price is around 18-20k. It should be even less now with the announcement of the next gen gou's.

would investing in an older gen card now such as the Rx 580 8gb at its current MSRP be a bad investment,given that next gen mid range gpus from nvidia are likely to be released in the foreseeable future?
