I probably should have added, I will do some eventual upgrades to whatever I buy. With both selected I would have bought an SSD and more ram since it appears to have additional slots for both. And also going the amazon warehouse route to save some more money =-)
It has been a while since I've been able to buy anything computer related, and it is really starting to show. My old asus ULV SU 7300 laptop has tons of issues these days, and has a dead battery. Bought that back in the day for the 10+ hour battery life, which didn't hold for very long....and...
I quit using newegg, and really buying computer parts, since they started the iron egg guarantee that didn't guarantee crap. Tried using it my last purchase, which was a computer tower. And was denied. I found a way better deal later in the week I bought it, by a good $60.
I wish I could ask for fedex over ups, fedex comes earlier before I have to go to work, ups comes pretty late in the day...and they won't leave the package(which is fine if its an expensive item, but $10 items?). I have seen prestige a number of times too, an unmarked minivan, kinda weird...
Always appreciate your responses, wish more vendors did as well!
Then I'll ask, why is the big brother 7770 often seen at or below the 7750 price points? Just more cards being made for the 7770 and stock gets rotated faster?
If you really think they are just making money on shipping, why not order it and ship to a friend or family member in the states for free shipping, and have that friend or family member ship it to you if you believe it to be cheaper?
a reliable brand =-)
I know amazon sells asus sapphire HIS visiontek MSI and gigabyte...newegg sells the same plus diamond and powercolor, I don't think xfx has one yet, but $109 seems to be the normal price for them and nobody has had any sales, unless you cound $5 for a few days off the asus...
