Rate this pre-build?

[Vanyel]

True, compared to msrp almost paying twice the amount, but it will be a one time purchase and hope it last as long as it could

doing a 1 time purchase of either 5080 or 5090 will last just as long imo~

 

[Chowkuehv1]

Just buy Zotac 5090 and register warranty for total 5 years warranty.

don’t forget 10gbps network card if you wanna do 10gbps network

Did not get 10gbps plan, I am using SingTel mesh fibre 2gbps, will be using cat6e cable to connect the mesh to pc,
But if buy Zotac then need DIY which I don’t mind learning from YouTube but price I not sure if I can beat pre build + if own self build then blue screen i BBQ le

I’ve been reading about missing ROPs, scared to buy from carousell even if it’s sealed unit, that’s why leaning towards pre build so can RMA easily, but now really like the design of FE, siao liao…

Wah 9800x3d + x870e carbon the difference is $451.38 compared to buying at shopee! Even after pay gst still cheaper, but is it legit?

I think only cpu+mobo will impose gst, other parts if don’t consolidate order at warehouse can evade gst? But have to pay more for individual shipping?

everything has gst, last time was only above $400 then got gst but gov changed it some yrs back

conso shipping is to save on the shipping costs

u send 1 item by air $8, then u buy another item send by air again is another $8 again

if u conso ship together maybe its $13

Can buy from aftershock with their 5090/9800X3D bundle, just change the base motherboard and ssd. They can customise parts according to what you want.

I also got them to change the motherboard, ssd to Samsung 990 pro.

diy might end up costing u more than invaderpc or aftershock tho, as u might endup going for better parts for etc.
generally these 2 companies their pricings hard to beat~

for me, i go for as cheap as possible replacements
say instead of lianli casing i go for a knockoff lookalike instead

Hahaha diy if anything wrong ownself settle. I go through aftershock as idk how to diy. Let them handle all my warranty related matters.

aftershock/invader gonna provide much better value vs diy.

I also waiting for the 32 WOLED. By the time come sg would be Nov or December I think.
