Buying PC Parts
I have a question about buying PC parts. I don't quite have enough money to build the PC I want to at the moment but will have the money when the semester starts again ( via a scholarship, I'll get the money back), but I do have enough money to buy a few parts now. Is it safe to buy parts and not use them for about a month or a little more? These are the parts that are in my build that have rebates on them at the moment:
PSU: OCZ OCZ700MXSP 700W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341018 $114.99 Rebate: $30.00 RAM: CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5 - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145184 $54.99 Rebate: $30.00 Combo CPU/Video Card $279.98 Rebate: $15.00 CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8400 - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.152864 Video Card: EVGA 512-P3-N973-TR GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.152864 I wasn't really sure where to post this so I hope this is the right place. |

If you wait too long and/or send in the rebates you'll have to handle any warranty transactions through the manufacturer rather than Newegg. I just bought that same memory from Newegg and the first pair failed memtest86+ testing. I waited to send in the rebate so I exchanged with Newegg but cut it pretty close on getting the UPC sent in. I wouldn't sit on anything for a year but a month should be okay.

I would wait and get all the parts at once. Most Newegg items have a 30 day return policy so if anything would happen to be faulty you won't have any problems returning them.
You might take a look at Corsair PSU's also. |
