not sure if this is the right forum or not. Does anyone know good site for pc parts in the usa? Or does someone know where i can get a sapphire 3850 256mb that comes with the black box, cause i know the ones on newegg dont
Did you check the bit-tech shopping link? Another place I go to get parts is http://www.zipzoomfly.com To find an exact part and those who sell them try http://www.pricewatch.com/ It's very good only if you check out the merchants record at http://www.resellerratings.com which also has many merchants listed for your search there.
i love ncix.com. they have an american branch, ncixus.com. the us webstore has a bit less stuff in it, but i think they share a customer service department with the canadian division. excellent service, and great forums.
when i was gonna order my parts i wanted to order from newegg or zipzoomfly but im in canada. i saw ncix but the prices werent that good plus it didnt have all i wanted. same with tiger direct. then i found www.directcanada.com awesome prices and had what i needed. they use paypal which is good. but there site aint that great for info. i looked up everything on newegg then found it at directcanada.
Newegg > all. I'm assuming there's more to the color of the box than just the color of the box... right?
If you specifically want a card in the black box... surely an extra $20 isn't much to ask It's a pity Newegg don't stock it though, 'coz from everything I've read about them [on various forums]... as suggested above...they > all the rest Their prices are usually very competitive, and another thing in their favour... is that they (apparently) don't usually ask many - if any questions, should you request a RMA on anything you've bought from them! That might not sound particularly important to anyone who's never had to request a RMA. But knowing the possible pitfalls involved in the process - i.e. having the supplier disagree with your reasons for returning the item in the first place, and the turnaround time for the replacement product... it could make a world of difference, should you ever require a RMA
I normally I use newegg and I know their customer service is good. Its just that none of their 3850 have the black box game bundle with them. I once rma a mobo that died on me and they took it even though one of the cables broke.
