Help - Upgrade PC to HTPC

[Cilus]

Let him ask the shop about the shipping cost. And regarding warranty there won't be any issue as he can submit the card to any MSI Service Center situated in India.

I'll check there as well...

In the meantime I've found a few threads regd. E5300 OC - It seems easy but I wouldn't like to say any further before getting any real first hand experience.

*******QUICK QUERY********

what should be the best price for 1 month used XFX HD6670 1GB DDR5 ?

 

[skeletor]

^ buy a new one from MSI. We don't suggest XFX here because their support can be bad.

 

[Mr. Officer]

thanks for timely advise.
but otherwise if it was a diff card/board manufacturer...was it OK buying used.
Or it's simply a bad idea buying used PC h/w ?

 

[Cilus]

Buying 2nd hand PC components is not a bad idea, it depends upon the quality of the product under consideration. XFX used to be one of the leading Gfx card manufacturer couple of years back but now their product quality has been deteriorated a lot and the after sales service is also bad in most of the areas of India. So avoid XFX products.
I've mentioned in one of my earlier posts that a new XFX HD 6670 is priced Rs 4,700 in Kolkata. So for 1 month old card, 4.5K is a good deal.

 

[sukesh1090]

@mr.officer,
i tell you to avoid 2nd hand pc.there won't be much price difference between 1 month used card and new card.so buy new msi or sapphire card.avoid xfx product.

 

[Mr. Officer]

OK...I'll stay away from that used XFX card.


Last night I placed an order on ebay for Corsair 4GB DDR3 RAM 1333 MHz @ Rs. 1124/- and Corsair CX 500 V2 @ Rs 3150/-

Now I got a message from seller "rituraj1 - Indiaa Infotech" telling me that he dont have Corsair RAM in stock while the listing still shows more than 10 pcs avail for same RAM.....instead he's asked if I want ADATA ram

No info provided by seller about the Corsair PSU as of now.

I've been buying stuff on ebay for quite sometime something of this sort has never happened...seller has a 99.5% feedback score and has been selling since 2003, confused what to do ?

 

[Cilus]

You should have chosen Flipkart and the cash on delivery option.

 

[Mr. Officer]

You should have chosen Flipkart and the cash on delivery option.

yep that would've been a better option.

I messaged him back back asking about availability of new stock of corsair ram and specs of Adata ram that he's offered.

I'll post here when I get that info.

ebay seller is now offering this RAM at same price...shall I go for it ?

 

[Cilus]

Ya, you can go with it. The Ram is good. Try to bargain a little to reduce the price, try for 1.35K/1.4K.

 

[Mr. Officer]

Ya, you can go with it. The Ram is good. Try to bargain a little to reduce the price, try for 1.35K/1.4K.

Bro, I paid Rs 1124/- inc shipping...he's sending me this RAM instead of the one I ordered originally at same price.

The same seller on ebay says I'll get my Corsair CX 500 V2 on Monday.

 

[Cilus]

Then it is a real good deal. XMS3 is the entry level gaming rams and has a heat sink over the Ram. I have the 1600 MHz version of the same Ram.

 

[Mr. Officer]

Guess I was lucky
I'll be happier once I get everything in my hands.

I emailed mdcomputers on 22/12/11 asking for the final price inc shipping for MSI 6670 but havent heard anything yet...I'll call them today [hope they respond].

 

[Cilus]

Let me know the details of the mail through PM. I'll check with them.

 

[Mr. Officer]

Cilus,

I've recd a reply - here it is

MSI R6670 @ 5100 + 4% VAT =5304
CPU COOLER CM TX3 @1300 + 4%VAT =1352
SHIPPING @ 400
TOTAL COST= 7056

I'll also check locally...if the price is similar, then might as well pick it up here only.

 

[Cilus]

Price is okay but 400 bucks for shipping is little high. Hyper TX3 is available in most of the online shops like smc, theitwares.

MSI HD 6670 is available at theitwares @ RS 5550 + 100 for shipping = RS 5650. Due to site problem, I'm not able to see the CPU cooler in their site.
Hyper TX3 is available in smcinternational.in @ RS 1300. Call them for the shipping information and cost.
Buy from the site(s) where the total cost is coming less.

 

[Piyush]

for SMC just call them and ask if they have 6670 too
they dont regularly update their site anyways
