Hi Guys,

I am thinking of getting Dynacore as well but is just afraid of warranty. They are around ~5-10% cheaper than commercial brand like aftershock/mansa. I spoke to them and they said they offer carry-in warranty and delivery at $15. Anyone know if there is something wrong with my PC i just have to bring my whole PC to their shop and they will do the necessary troubleshooting (3 years service only?) and RMA the faulty component? Roughly how long is the turnaround time?

My proposed build (~2k)
MSI PRO B660M-A WIFI DDR4 + i5-12400F
ASUS Dual RTX3060Ti O8G Mini V2 OC Gaming Twin Fan GDDR6
ID-CoolingSE-224-XTBlack
CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 3600MHz CL18 32GB
Samsung 980 Pro 7000MB/s Gen4 Nvme M.2 1TB
Leadex iii SuperFlower 650W Gold Full Modular
Windows 10 Home
Tecware Forge M Omni ARGB Mesh Airflow

Is above build reliable? Hopefully use up to 5 years.

CPU Fan: I will get SE-226-XT instead. The value for performance is much better.

Case: If you want reliability, then dont buy tecware already. It's known for failing down the road. I would recommend Lian Li instead.

SSD: 980 Pro is very high-end, does that make a difference for your use case? Or can you save cost and get 970 Evo plus instead? Depends on pricing too.

PSU: 650W, there is not much room for future upgrades so that is something to keep in mind.

GPU: I have mentioned a couple of times that the asus dual fan variant is not a good cooling solution. It just happened that around last month or so there was a user reporting horrible temps in this forum, which also shooked other forumners. Furthermore, that mini variant that was quoted to you is the 2 slot version with smaller heatsink, which is going to be worse than the 3 slot OG version. This is also something to consider changing.

Whether PC last depend how you use it as well maintain time to time.
Build looks OK but if you want to save a bit of money than go for Samsung 970 EVO Plus
which is cheaper about $50.

Most shops warranty are carry in, don't think anyone offer onsite unlike Aftershock.
Case wise I would not recommend Tecware, they are cheap but their fans are not
very good and can fail after a period of usage.

Cheapest case brand will be Cooler Master, more expensive will be Corsair than Lian Li.
Example of similar case like that Tecware

Graphic card wise you consider MSI RTX3060TI VENTUS 2X.

wah guys i call up dynacore coz i wanted to buy the parts, then the guy said coz not buying complete system need to add i5 12400f + MSI PRO B660M-A WIFI DDR4 $ 470 + 15
well they do include this clause in their price list, just that its quite small and sneaky...
in that case, u can look to tradepac, they have the same price and as far as i know shouldnt have this $15 additional charge.
