@Choonster said in Review/validate my work PC build:
I've been building a spreadsheet of prices all day today, I'm thinking I'll go with the RTX 2070 Super FTW3 Ultra ($978 from PBTech); but I've still got a couple of stores to look at.
I've only included the top-end EVGA XC/FTW models starting with the 2060 Super.
I ended up buying the RTX 2070 FTW3 Ulra. The Ulra+ version was only available from Newegg in the US, none of the Australian stores I looked at had it yet. It also would have cost about $100 more.
I saw some bad reviews for PBTech online and it looks like they probably ship from New Zealand despite having an Australian store, so I decided to go with Centre Com (the second cheapest option for this model). Once I got to the Centre Com checkout, I saw that they were going to charge $20 for shipping, $10 for freight insurance and $12 for paying with PayPal; which all seemed a bit much.
I then decided to go with the third cheapest option, which turned out to be Mwave. They only charged $13 for shipping (probably because they're in Sydney rather than Melbourne like Centre Com), $6 for freight insurance and $10 for paying with PayPal. I had just over $6 of credit earned from my previous order, so that paid for the freight insurance.
I chose express courier shipping, so it should hopefully arrive on Monday or Tuesday.
