Order Post and Deal Hunts: April to
June 2020
Sorry for
the lack of updates, due to the current period of unknowns from the COVID-19
pandemic. My package finally arrived in late May! Thus, I will be doing updates
at the end of the month from now on.”
As things
have started to improve with the government allowing a larger group of people
to return to work. This could mean that I may be able to deal hunt regular near
my location.
Fortunately,
enough, I stumbled across 2 great deals that had potential and I basically made
the leap of faith to deal with the sellers.
These 2 are
the parts that I bought off Carousell, a 2nd hand selling website or
platform.
The first
part is an ASUS ROG STRIX RX570 4GB. The seller listed it on the website for
150 Singapore dollars which is the average price for an RX570 on Carousell, but
I managed to negotiate with him to 120SGD!.This is a great card for entry level
gaming and for this price, it is a good fit for a budget PC to game at 1080p
medium or even Esports titles at high. The usual price for a Used RX570 8GB is
around 160SGD.
The 2nd
deal involves another RX570, but this card is a Powercolor Red Dragon RX570 8GB.
This card is listed on the same platform Carousell for 170 Singapore dollars,
but I managed to get it for approximately 140SGD, which is quite a good deal. It
packs 8GB of DDR5 VRAM and allows for an increase in graphic quality for a
small price difference. This card cost around 170 Singapore dollars.
My order
listings were done at the end of April this year, and I will be sharing what I
have ordered and what they will be involved in!
Firstly,

2020. (All parts are shown in the photo below)

350SGD in Shops)
These parts
are meant for an all new upcoming PC build that will be posted up in a day or
two. The prices are still at a sky high due to COVID19 outbreak, so
I could not find ways to reduce the prices.
Take care
and hope that everyone stays safe while the pandemic gets under control.
