hi,
i am fairly new to purchasing custom parts for a computer i live in australia sydney and have been hearing things such as "buy from local because you cant trust online", or "buy from online because its cheeper and better a lot of the times".
im sitting on the fence here and i dono what to do from here.
the custom pc stores i have been to has higher price than ones online e.g. the GTX 760 is $400 compared to most of which online is around $250.
Any advice? is it possible to purchase all computer parts online and have it built buy a computer tech (i dont know how to assemble a computer). or would it be safer to just buy it at a local store for a much higher price?
this is the parts i am getting...
