Eeeeeer, bro, Please go throught this price list and see if GTX770 is more expensive than 280X cards within the same brands.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2687949/all

Some other sellers might have different or lower prices but to generalise the 770 as cheaper is wrong.

Hahha, sorry. Most of time I check the price list from newsgg. Thx for correcting me. smile.gif

Kalau PC parts mahal, jangan beli PC, owai.

BTW, bersyukurlah Malaysia is still among the cheapest place for certain parts/stuffs such as HDD, Intel and Ipad.

By the way, the prices that you see published by Viewnet, Cycom, and others still have some level of margins.  Depending on the hardware, the margins are different.  You could get good discounts on hardware, depending on how well you know the retailer. 

End of the day, the bottom line prices are managed by distributors, and the retailers decide if they want to reduce their margins for you.  In Low Yat, there are some retailers that "pool" together their demand so that they can increase volumes and get lower prices from the distributors.  So sometimes some specific parts are cheaper in a shop, but more expensive in others, and you need to "package" together items like CPU, mobo, and RAM to get the advertised prices ...

In the end after more than 15 years of buying parts in Low Yat, I found out that it is better to find one really good retailer, get to know the retailer well, and then stick with that retailer who will then source the parts for you as needed and support after sales.  I think there are many really good retailers out there, talk to them, and see which retailer puts in the extra effort to support you.

Base on experience, which retailer is the best in term of support and price at low yat?
I really want to know before start buying my rig part. smile.gif

My experience has shown me that Cycom is a good retailer for me, and I use them almost exclusively.  I have been buying from Cycom since they first opened shop in Low Yat, those days there were only about 5 computer shops in Level 2.

Can i get a good price discount if buying the pc parts from them? hmm.gif

Deswai I beli 1866MHz CL9.  laugh.gif  laugh.gif
I concur with the HyperX Genesis.  thumbup.gif

Won't be long when DDR4 comes along you'll be seeing 2400Mhz CL9 on a regular basis.
That's CL9. So it's correct. Try to aim for RAM with the same timings.

Any suggestion? icon_question.gif
I am not really know about the ram timing. Sigh...

You can get any Kingston or Corsair or GSkill RAM which states 1600Mhz CL9. Should he sufficient for gaming and normal computing.

You don't need to know the details of RAM timing. Just make sure it's CL9.
But if you insist on reading, http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Und...-RAM-Timings/26

Thanks for the links. Really need the ram timing. The am3+ mobo need to change its bios setting to support this ram.
