Outside of Amazon and E-bay, where do people suggest shopping for parts? I tried 5Miles, but there wasn’t much around my area.
I’ve found some things on gumtree, second hand obviously, so it’s buyer beware as usual with these types of sites
I just recently used letgo to buy everything for my rig lol OfferUp is a good one too I found a really good deal on 5 cards on Craigslist but the guy won’t meet me because of Covid.
@Jubin D’oh, yea, I left off Newegg. They’re pretty good for new hardware and a reliable company.
@MeatyMouse Thanks for the suggestion. I actually see a couple things on there that might be decent if people will come down a little A ton better than 5Miles for my area apparently.
@oorWullie Thanks for the suggestion. Doesn’t look like anyone is using that in my area though. Might be good for some other people though
I have been finding so many cheap cards but I am ready to build a rig with all of the same cards I am thinking of starting a video card exchange where you can trade a card you got for a good price locally for the card you need for your rig by mail or something. Just a pie in the sky idea atm lol.
Craigslist and Facebook marketplace are a few other options worth checking out.
Only use wish.com if you want to wait 30+ days for a graphics card that may or may not show up. And if you get lucky and it does show up, you’ve got your hands on a piece of counterfeit garbage.
@InvestYG use pcpartpicker.com to find any computer parts you would need. Will always have the cheapest options for ya, also has a compatibility tester while you pick parts.
Watch this before using Wish for GPU or anything else really
Lots of good answers here and here’s another one B&H PHOTO, here’s the link
