Oh hey !

Nice to see a fellow Singaporean.

Don't limit yourself to Sim-Lim Square and Funan , you can order Stuff from Amazon and get free shipping when you order over SG$125.

Low end gaming PC ? With $1000 , you could play BF3 at ultra settings !

Hello to another Singaporean. Yea,i agree with Ironbatman,i saved a quite a bit when i ordered my gpu from amazon. Saved 130 SGD.That's a substantial amount.

As for your screen,you could consider getting it second hand.Have a look through the HWZ marketplace.You might be able to find a seller. Again,this is personal preference.if you want a new set,by all means.

this is a Dual Band wireless Adapter. If your Router doesn't support it , then get the cheaper single-band one.

Not all items from Amazon ship to Singapore for free.

Only items that are shipped and sold by Amazon and have a sign " ships to select countrites outside the US ".

navask01 :

Does the warranty still works when the GPU is shipped to Singapore. Cause I was thinking to get some parts from Amazon too. What to do when you receive the GPU and its not working or after awhile it breaks down. does Asus singapore accept the warranty?

navask01 · Nov 19, 2013

You have to contact the manufacturer and RMA with them.You still have a warranty,just not in SG. They'll tell you where to ship the item.You can consider the savings you get now as investment for RMA.
The distributors here won't honor the warranty. I'm against the local distributors on principle.Bloody ripoffs

If any product you purchase from Amazon is " dead on arrival " , then Amazon would send you another one.
