Hi im building a new pc and I need to know all hardware stores in Lebanon since I need to ask for some parts
yasamoka
Depends on what parts you want. We might not be able to list all hardware stores as one might find a single offer at a time here or there, so it would be better if you told us the parts as well.
Some stores off the top of my head are pcandparts, CompuWorld, MicroCity, MEIT, Top Technologies, etc...
Some parts here like premium motherboards, graphics cards, and PSUs are rare. And more often than not, if they are available, they are horribly priced.

Ah ok I need a core i5 3570 3.4 ghz a gigabyte GeForce gtx 650 ti 2gb and 8gb Kingston ram 1333 MHz.

What are the reasons for your hardware choices?

Get a lower end i5, less RAM, spend the rest on a GPU. Maybe a 7850 or 7870. You can also afford a 660Ti, or even a non Ti, it will be still faster than the 650Ti
WaficLawand
but the gtx 660ti or 660 is so expensive even if I bought lower rams and lower than i5

Geforce 650ti is equal if not slightly faster than Geforce 560, though in Lebanon only the expensive 2GB is available,I am waiting for the 1gb version which will cost between 160 and 180$
WaficLawand
when will 1gb version be found in Lebanon.I saw on amazon gtx 650 ti 2gb for 150$ only

1GB of VRAM is not enough for new games nowadays. New games have so much higher resolution textures in them, which makes the image bigger in capacity. 1GB was good a year ago, now games want memory. some games don't render some images due to limited memory.
Get the MSI GeForce N660-2GD5/OC GTX 660 2GB DDR5 OC Edition. It's only $8 more expensive. It's faster, has a Twin Frozr cooler, and it's an overclocked edition.
