Hi all, I am travelling to Hong Kong next week for a month from Ireland. I am planning to build my first computer so I decided to get the parts in Hong Kong because of great price and selections.
First of here is the build I am planning to go for. I was using newegg to get a general ideal. Advice will be greatly appreciated Also note I am not looking to build a high end system. But 5000 to 7000 HKD would be ideal. I did not include the case below because I plan to buy one when I'm back in Ireland and so I don't have to bring a computer case with me.
CPU: Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K
Mobo: Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-Z77M-D3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3K2/8G
GPU: Newegg.com - EVGA 012-P3-1571-AR GeForce GTX 570 HD w/Display-Port (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
HDD: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
DVD drive: Newegg.com - ASUS DVD Burner 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G/AS
PSU: Newegg.com - CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
All these parts gives me a subtotal of: $849.93(US Dollar)
Secondly I would like to know the price in HKD. I know prices are not set in stone but if someone can give me a general price range for this build in HKD. That would be fantastic I have been to areas such as Sham Shui Po and once or twice to Mong Kok Computer Centre but never bought any computer parts from any of these places so advice on buying computer parts would be nice
Finally is carrying the parts over to Ireland. What will be the best way to do so in case of not damaging any of the components and will there be any problems when bringing computer parts through customs?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post
