Building a R15,000 gaming PC — Local vs Amazon
It is currently substantially more expensive buying an entry-level desktop gaming PC using components from Amazon.com than acquiring the same system through a local outlet.
South African gamers are generally critical of the seemingly excessive...
Hi I have purchased a laptop from evetech (Lenovo Legion Y540) and it came with a 3 year warranty with Platinum warranty. Upon almost having it for 3 years (just over 2 and a half years) i noticed the battery was draining very quickly and the onboard mouse left click felt funny (but was still...
I recently started shopping for a laptop and my goto website was evetech.co.za simply because of their range and customization options.
After shopping and researching (for longer than I’m willing to admit) and making a final selection, I was just about to pay when my spidey senses tingled, so I...
The gaming rig South Africans can build for R15,000
With the global chip crunch easing off and graphics card demand at a low, there have been few better times in recent years to build a new gaming PC.
2021 and the start of 2022 were not ideal periods for those looking to upgrade their rig.

Building a gaming PC for under R30,000
While it is possible to game for less than R10,000 on a PC or console, those looking for a more immersive experience may be willing to spend more to build a powerful setup.
MyBroadband investigated what kind of gaming rig we could assemble with a budget...
On the 6th of November 2018, I ordered a MSI GP73 8re notebook for R22,798 from Evetech.
Before the item was dispatched, I enquired whether I would be able to upgrade the primary hard disk myself without voiding the warranty (I have been building and repairing PC's, notebooks and network...
Hi, so I bought my new CPU from Evetech 4 months ago - about 2 weeks ago it died and hasn't started up since.
From day 1 I had a minor problem with the CPU as I would turn on the PC and there would be no display - the fans would all spin hard, but that would be it - but the simple fix would be...
Hi. I'm buying a new released CPU for my new PC build and it's the last component I need. I've read terrible experiences with evetech.
What's your experience with them?
The cost of product is R3550
Evetech beats competition on price but not by much, though evetech include 3 month xbox game...
So i bought two GTX 1070 from Evetech and both were in the same machine. Recently one card stopped displaying but still powered up.
I sent it into evetech who took one month to have it looked at. Christo Kotze told me that the card was water damaged and voided the warranty yet no water has...
What an unbelievably horrible experience buying from these people.
I purchased a mouse from them on the 27th of Feb and paid a courier fee to have it delivered and I am still without a mouse (14 March). They sent me a faulty one which I eventually received around the 5th or 6th of March. I...
Bought graphics card from them that conked out 4 weeks later. They've had it now 'at the supplier' for nearly 4 weeks but can't give me cause and proposed resolution, or a date. I've mailed, called, been to the shop, no movement. A technician offered a refund which I accepted, his manager now...
Doesn't this bother other people the way Evetech markets their prebuilt pc's that state I7's with 8-Core and Ryzen 16-Core. When you go to their component section they sell the cpu's with the correct specs I7's 4-core and 8-thread and Ryzen 8-core and 16-thread. And on their main page they have...
Hi,
So it is finally time for my new PC build. I am looking at spending a fair amount, around 20 - 24k.
I have looked at quite a few S.A. sites to compare prices, and looked at Amazon.com as an option as well (have a friend who recently used amazon prime to acquire most of his...
Hi everyone. I recently bought a new computer off one of the local websites. When I received it there was a strange issue with flashy opjects on the screen. I reinstalled a different Windows and there was still a problem. I sent the computer back to them, they said it was the graphics card and...
So I've used Evetech before and I've had a few buddies who've also used them without issues as well.
But it seems they've really kicked the hornets nest since Black Friday - it would seem that they severely underestimated the demand and as a result are very understaffed.
However, my issue...
Hi,
So my 2 month old GPU is acting up and I need to return it to Evetech, but they have been fairly vague as to the process. I was wondering if anybody have gone through the process of returning to an online retailer? What retailer? What courier did you use? How much did it cost? Do they...
