Online shooping for computer parts

[MielieSpoor]

Hi there,

Where I can shop online in SA for computer parts. I want to have a look at screen cards, but don't really know the prices and the diffirences between the stuff. I want to compare the cards and the the prices.

Thanks.

This site should show you some of the major differences between the cards.

As for where to shop, I've included a few links in the FAQ, but there are thousands to choose from

I've had good experiences with PC International and The Prophecy Shop myself.

One question. My motherboard has got SLI, should I opt for a SLI card or should I rather go for a better performance card like a 9600GT or something?

What card do you currently have?

 

[charlie_82]

AFAIK all the newer cards are SLI compatible.
What card were you looking at getting?

I'm willing to pay upto R1500, so the best I can get for that amount. Looks like the 9600GT retails for more-or-less that.

If you didn't already have an SLI mobo, i'd recommend the Ati 3850.
But since you already have SLI, 9600gt is a decent card for your price range

If you want a new card, that is the one to go with, but second hand, you could get a 9800GT...

Pick me, pick me www.digitaladdiction.co.za
If you can push a bit ... you can get a 9800GT at about R1900.

LoL, ye, it's only a R400 difference, but the speed is a lot more, IMO.
