Answer 1 :
Go to Sim Lim Square that's where most of the tech stuff is but I last visited there about 2 years ago. Hong Kong is better.
Answer 2 :
There are 2 places in Singapore to get cheap tech stuff: Sim Lim Sq: Avoid the lower 2 floors are very bad. I had a very bad experience when I tried to buy things there. They mainly target tourist. The shops at the higher floor are cheaper. Same good but different price.

Fixed price so you don't fear of being cheated especially for us tourists. Members have further discount.

Answer 3 :
Generally, most tourists who come to Singapore will find the tech and electronics items cheap and reasonable, considering the quality of the products. If you are a bargain hunter, try Sim Lim Square and Mustafa Centre especially. If you prefer a shop that is most established and has a bigger reputation, try a shop like Harvey Norman and Best Denki
