Going overseas.
Last response: in Systems
Hello to the community,
I'm about to travel to Hong Kong soon, and I was wandering if I should purcahse any computer parts to buy over there. But here is the catch, I don't need it atm, it's just that the prices in Australia are more expensive than there buy 50+ dollars. I'm going to get a new GPU to replace my old one, but I was thinking along the lines of RAM or HD, stuff like that? ATM I have 4GB of RAM and one new 500GB WD (green) and a 2-3 year old HD (also WD).
Just an enquiry, cause it would be quite a while before I go there again after this trip. And the prices here are hefty.
Thank you!

Currently my system is a
-890GX mobo
-Phenom II x6 1055t
-9800 GT (I am thinking of upgrading this to a 6970, reason for this instead of 570 is for the crossfire in the future, if games get tougher and its cheapher in HK.)
-4GB RAM (I am thinking of upgrading this to 8GB, is that enough? futureproof?)
-500GB WD green (need more?)
should i buy an audio card?
any tips for those things?

Not much cheaper from what I see in here:
http://www.price.com.hk/product.php?p=122080
http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=1&From=HKD&To=...
That's 193 AUD

Are there any parts of my computer that are bottlenecked? If so, the time would be now for me to upgrade it before I come back.
I'm running:
-Phenom II x6 1055t
-Kingston 1333 2x2GB RAM (thinking of making it a total of 8GB)
-Inno 3d 9800GT (--->HD 6970, any good brands?)
-Earthwatts 750
-WD Caviar Green 500GB
-ASRock 890GX Extreme3 Motherboard
-Antec 300 Case
Is there anything I should get to upgrade, as I'm leaving tomorrow morning.
