Hello, I am very uneasy about buying off Amazon.com as buying from Australian sites such as Mwave.com or Umart.com are much more expensive. Buying off amazon is much more cheaper for me, I can build a better computer for less money, but what I am most unsure about is the warranty. This will be my first time building a gaming PC. Do you need a warranty? Am I covered. My monitor will cost AU$300. My budget is to stay under AUD$2000

Mwave Build: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Cr7bKB = AU$1341 + AU$340(peripherals) + AU$300(monitor) = AU$1981

Amazon Build: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/qqngbX = AU$1301 + AU$340 + AU$300 = $1941

So what do you guys think? For the Mwave build, I more for less. The Amazon computer has a better MB, RAM and GPU. I don't know if the SSR-550FX 80+ gold is better than the Corsair RMx 550w 80+.

I am going to be building this computer myself for the first time and don't know if I should buy off Amazon.com, am I covered if I accidentally damge the parts through ESD? I could maybe even get the AU$675 1070 ti if I cut down on all the other parts again, although I think I will be paying slightly more for that.

Thanks. Josh.

Amazon.com.au should have all your items and free shipping.

Checkout https://www.centrecom.com.au also

I've been going to them for years in store. Very reliable and good prices. They offer online shopping if delivery costs aren't too great for you. Not sure how much though, have never bought whole package online.

Msy.com.au is another.

Shopping from Amazon US or AU can mean parts can be sold from various sellers. Shouldn't be a problem as any returns will go through Amazon then onto the seller.
