Ordering parts at different times dilemma

[philipcarty103]

Hello,

A graphics card I have wanted has gone on sale for 150 pound. (sapphire rx 570 nitro+) and I am interested in buying it. I actually planned to buy it before from another retailer for the same price but the sale ended and this sale just begun today. I have already planned to buy a case and ram from the retailer and now want to buy the graphics card, but I want to buy the card now as to not risk the price reverting again. I am however aware that after 30 days if there is a fault with a product I have to bring it up with the manufacturer. My question is this:

Should I buy the graphics card, ram and case now (keep in mind it will be over a month before the rest of the parts are bought) or:

Should I buy the graphics card itself and then buy the case and ram along with the other parts and pay the shipping (4 euro) twice?

Thanks for help.

I am not too sure of the prices in the UK, but 150 does not sound like a deal that you wont be able to find any other time. GPU prices continue to drop. I would just wait till you had the money to buy everything instead of one piece at a time. Because if something is faulty, you will have to RMA the part and it will take at least 2 weeks to get another one back.

I forgot to mention I am in Ireland, so obviously I can't wait too long (Brexit) and also the Nitro+ is 200 pound worth so I doubt that will drop by 50 in the next month or two.

So reading my original post, what do you recommend?

Then go ahead and buy the GPU now. The only thing you will lose is some time if you have to RMA it. For what it is worth, I have never had to RMA a GPU when I first got it.
