Whether to use AMAZON for PC parts

[mltnl]

I've had my eye on a few parts to build my PC on Amazon, mainly due to the lower pricing and variety but one thing that keeps crossing my mind is how can i trust Amazon to deliver the goods in working condition.

Also, i live in Australia

Can anyone who lives in Australia and has had experience ordering parts from Amazon help me out in terms of shipping costs / time for delivery / reliability of parts?

Thanks

*Edit* This is my first post so hopefully i have stuck to the guidelines :s

Hi mltnl
i am in aus and have used amazon they are ok but the shipping is a bit cruel , what are you chasing ?

Hi,
I'm looking to put these parts together just to run a few games.

I haven't built any PCs before and have no experience. I think they are compatible with each other...

The parts on Amazon add up to around $1255 to $1300, probably a bit more from shipping.

I live in Melbourne, I haven't gotten around to checking local stores since everything's on Amazon.

Also, Amazon's free shipping is only for the US rite?

Are there any parts I should tweak, am missing or don't need?

great guys to deal with and awesome service and backup

shipping from amazon with that lot will cost you an arm and a leg

 

[mltnl]

Really? Maybe I just didn't search clearly enough, cheers buddy! How long does shipping take? And what do you think about the case?

 

[mickypheonix]

do I need a cooler if I get this

 

[mickypheonix]

are you overclocking you CPU ?

 

[mltnl]

Haven't really thought about it, Don't know how to >_< though I do want to. Are there risks?

 

[mltnl]

I don't really think I need to overclock it for a gtx770 and they are so expensive

 

[mickypheonix]

if you are not overclocking the cpu , the stock cooler that comes with the i5 4670K will be fine

 

[mickypheonix]

you can overclock your cpu and yes there are risks , but do your research before you try watch and learn , google and youtube are your friends , watch how someone else does it with your mobo and cpu etc

 

[mltnl]

I'm back, sorry but are there shipping costs for PCCG?

 

[mickypheonix]

depends on how much stuff you get
fill a cart then below that you should see a box estimate shipping cost , type your postcode in and you will get a few options and the price
