1 When it comes to price I think the 1TB SDD is expensive in my case +
2 $177.99CAD warranty (though I don't know if I need warranty, or why they
3 are charging me for it)?
4
5 Here is my pricing in CAD
6
7 - INWIN BL631 Low Power Micro ATX Case w/300W power supply $84.99
8 - Gigabit GA-78LMT-USB3 w/DDR3, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan $79.99
9 - Samsung 850 EVO Series Solid State Drive 1-TB $499.99
10 - LG GH240 SuperMulti 24x DVD Writer, SATA $24.99
11 - Kingston HyperX FURY Black 16GB DDR3-1600MHz CL 10 Dual Channel
12 4 x 8 GB Total 32 GB RAM $225.98
13 - AMD FX-6300 Processor 3.5GHz w/ 14MB Cache $144.99
14 - Asus GeForce GT610 CMS 2GB PCI-E w/ DVI HDMI $69.99
15 - assembly $40.00
16 - Warranty ??? $177.99
17 =========================================================================
18 TOTAL $1348.91
19 ADS for CPU v2 (WHAT IS THAT?) $4.40
20 GST $67.67
21 =========
22 GRANT TOTAL: $1420.98
23
24 PS. Expensive like for a small box.
25
26 Maybe I don't need 32GB or RAM but even 16GB RAM would save me only $112.99
27
28 You might be right, maybe I'll add one HDD for backup (good suggestion).
29 The killer is my 1TB SSD $499.99CAD
