Amazon’s shipping costs for some of the components make it significantly more expensive than buying them from local retailers.

South African PC gamers can save thousands of rands by ordering their components from local retailers instead of buying them from Amazon in the US.

On the other hand, buying the Antec NX500M ARGB case from Amazon will cost nearly four times the price of ordering it from Evetech in South Africa. We opted for the Asus Prime A620M-K motherboard for the build, which was available for R2,366 from local PC hardware retailers. We paired the processor with an XFX Speedster QICK308 Radeon RX 7600 with 8GB of video memory. Evetech sells the card for R5,999.

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB SSD is available for R2,199 in South Africa, while Amazon charges R2,641 with shipping. We opted for one stick of Kingston’s Fury Beast 16GB 5,600MHz DDR5 memory for the build, which is available for R1,439 from Evetech.
