What should I do ?

Justaphysicsnerd · November 13, 2020

This is pretty tempting guys. Take a look at this :, I will add the PSU, here in my country and a case, that still wouldn't cost me over 10k INR. And if I assemble a similar PC from either local retailers and or pc partpicker the prices go as high as 90-95k INR. SO what should I do ? Should I buy from Newegg. As all of this will be shipped from USA to India (where I live). So I don't see any bad things happening ? Any bad things about this ? as AMD, ASUS etc. do have international warranty right ? And like check this out, I can get a proper ATX ASUS TUF B550 Motherboard for like 2K INR Cheaper (From newegg) than buying an MATX board from Indian stores !

And then even If I add a PSU say for 6 to 7k INR and a case for 3 to 4k INR. And then I have got some money for the peripherals. or should I go with a 3300x or 3100 ? Since I am currently using a laptop with just a dual core intel cpu and 4 GB of 2133MHZ RAM. And I could even save some money by going with an mATX one, that drops the price down to just 62k INR (AsRock B550M Pro4) and I could save even more money by going with a 7200 RPM HDD, as I do have a DRAM equipped SSD (860 Evo). But I am in doubt as it will be all imported.

Here's Newegg's international shipping policies:
https://kb.newegg.com/knowledge-base/international-shipping/

You'll be responsible for any shipping upcharges, as well as any importation duties/taxes. My understanding of it is that you'll also be responsible for shipping, and duties/taxes on returns/RMA's on defective products. What these will end up costing, I'm not entirely certain.

You'll need to check about import fees, tax, shipping, etc and calculate those as thoroughly as possible.

Usually, it doesn't come any cheaper then in my experience, and if then still not enough for the hassle and possible additional shipping fees if you need to return or RMA something.

But that's something you have to calculate for yourself I have no idea about the import regulations of India (I just heard import costs are pretty high there generally)

PS: a lot of carriers will also ~~take a ransom fee for imports~~ upcharge you a "handling or import duty" fee which can be quite significant... Something to keep in mind also.
