I want to buy a GTX 660 Non Ti. (Pl don't start topic about Ti is worth the price )
I live in Srilanka where our ambient temp is 30 C average some time goes to 32C. Also considering i do some video editing i want to buy a card equipped with dual fan design.
In Srilanka I Can buy
Zotac 324$ (2 Year Warranty)
Zalman 332$ (2 Year Warranty)
Leadteck 315$ (2 year)
Asus 363$ (3 Years)
I have converted to $ for your convenience.
Since one my friend is coming from USA i thought to buy this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699
OC version 214$ (I'm happy with this than all model locally available)
Since it is cheap and our country prices are too high to afford i took this decision. But i'm afraid of DOA and my friend isn't capable of checking the card either. I don't want to trouble him too much. My plan is to buy in newegg or amazon and ship it to his address so he can bring it to me. FYI newegg / amazon won't ship here. I have given you the local brands + pricing here. What is your suggestion? Can i take the risk buying in newegg where i won't be able to claim the warranty?
Is it too risky?
Consider the price advantage and Chances of failure. I can't take any decesion because i haven't bought any thing from newegg or amazon before. In feedback i found some people gives high rating if they get replacement. So i can't relay on egg counts.
I have a good Powersupply Silencer mkiii
Please respond me soon as you can..
Thanks in advance.
