You cannot buy from newegg with your lebanese credit card . Only us one works. But the solution I gave from ups works on newegg.

No I have someone who can get stuff from Newegg in 10 days to Lebanon, not me

That's awesome dude! You get to save!

Lets see what 7950s are available.

MMM1999

I'm interested in this :" UPS".. Are they trustworthy? How are their costs in general?

MMM1999

hey guys,
how good are the GSKill RAM sticks?

MMM1999

Someone offered me 2*4 GB GSKill Sniper RAM sticks for 70 bucks, barely used: Low Voltage 1600MHz

In addition to that, a Corsair 850W PSU from Newegg for 215$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139011

A good offer?

yasamoka

Dude, have you tried CompuWorld for an XFX 750W PSU?

Are you shipping from NewEgg, or do you have someone (relative / friend) who can order from there and take them with them from US to Lebanon?

If not, then I recommend against shipping a PSU. It'll cost a lot to ship, it's heavy (~4kg, I have an HX850).

Where is that offer? In Lebanon? Do you trust the seller that he hasn't overvolted those sticks or run them in unfavorable conditions?

Dude, yes I tried CompuWorld , but they are 750W PSUs 80+ Bronze . The HX850 are 80+ Gold, BABY!!!!
No , I have someone who can order them. I only add 23% of the price to the initial price of the PSU and I pay.
Forget the sticks, I'm getting The kingston ones.

yasamoka

I say go for the GSkill Snipers if you trust the owners. The Kingston RAMs are probably not low-voltage, more like 1.65V, so you'll have to run at higher timings (personal experience).

I'm sure the 750W XFX in CompuWorld is Silver, I bought one myself!

23% is good, I guess.

MMM1999

Well, silver/ bronze something like that. LOL but the point is that the 23% is still fair ! even if I wanna get the 7950 vapor X from there,
I add 23% of the 330$ to have 402$, but some cheddar is added for the man himself to become 410$..... Cheaper than the ones in Lebanon ( 422$ from PCandParts incl. VAT )

yasamoka

Definitely. Does he offer you warranty? Can you return the card to him if its defective? Something very important to consider.

MMM1999

yes of course. I'm not a dummy not to consider this

yasamoka

I'm glad you're not a dummy. ;)

How long is the warranty and how honest does he seem to be?

He looks pretty honest, concerning the fact that he was talking to a 13 year old, so he could have told me :" Buzz Off Kiddo" but instead, he called me and offered help , explaining his private service. Concerning the warranty, it depends on the item, but you can pay and extend the warranty as much as you want on Newegg.

MMM1999

Sorry I am changing a lot of stuff in my rig, but here's another question:
Sapphire 7970 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202008
VS. Asus GTX 770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121770 ?
I viewed the reviews and all , but I just need an opinion, recommendation, opinion.... etc

yasamoka

Which did you find to be better?

MMM1999

Is that a sarcastic or a real question? :S
To be honest, I was really impressed with the GTX 770, plus the cooling is sweet. But can I hear your opinion? I've trusted your opinion ever since I opened this topic

yasamoka

Nope, it's a real question. :D

My reply to this comparison will be a bit long, so I'm interested to hear what you have found out already.

Well in The "Price Battle", the 7970 wins with a short edge.
I have read that the overclocking of the Asus is kinda small ( TechPowerUp), but it can reach 1250 MHz with a fan speed of 70% ( Tech Of Tomorrow Video said so :P )
I think both have great cooling, but I was really impressed with the boosted OC Asus one staying at 71 degrees with the 1250 MhZ at a fan speed of 70%., due to the DirectCU II cooling system.
But as specs, the Sapphire has bigger video memory , "more bits " ( 384 bit) , but according to a spec comparison page I read like half an hour ago, the Asus has bigger Memory Clock with 7010 MHz compared to 5700 Mhz ( or a number close to this I guess)
I'm still searching, so don't instantly think of me as a " fool' LOL

yasamoka

Great findings! Keep looking..
I don't want to decide for you, I'm glad you're finding things out for yourself.
