Who to buy from?

[JimboBob]

So I'm looking at upgrading my CPU, MB and RAM...
Specifically Ryzen 3600/x/xt, any MB <R3k and 8GB RAM

I scouted online and it seems like only options are Wootware, PC International and Evetech.
Are there any secret suppliers that someone recommends OR anyone I should stay away from?

Evetech... Avoid.
Not sure about PC international.

I used PC international right through the 2000s, though I haven't really shopped there in the last decade as I never really built any PCs over it. But a friend got parts from them and they still seemed fine. Back in the 00s they swapped out broken parts without question under warranty.

anybody good selling upgrade Kits with all included,
CPU,MB,RAM as one barebones kit?

looking to start a new build and get rid of all my old stuff in one go.

Don't ever buy Evetech if you can avoid it. You will regret it more than that one-night stand with the herpes lady.

Wootware and Titan-Ice are solid. Takealot occasionally whenthey have good specials and even Makro at times, though generally they're more expensive.

My money goes to Wootware, almost always. Their pricing is good but their service is better.

Wootware is sometimes expensive but good after sales service, mostly supported by forum members.

Evetech is usually the cheapest, but you can just search this forum for the horror stories.

Wootware...excellent service.

Have dealt with both Wootware and Titan-Ice during the lockdown. Both have come through and would be recommended.

From what I've seen, Wootware is s*** expensive and stock very limited.

I've only bought a monitor from Evetech during lockdown, no complaints thus far.
