Hi,

 

I'm pretty new to building PCs and recently I've heard some horror stories about cheap imported components. However, I personally own a Yi action cam (alternative GoPro), and a Xeox USB Gamepad for playing PC games, both of which are cheaper alternatives straight out of China, but they both do a great job and overall I'm pretty happy with them both.

 

This has got me thinking that maybe there's decent alternative brands of PC components too. Has anyone had a good experience with cheap imported hardware? Is there any brands or manufacturers that are any worth looking at?

 

Thanks,

 

Ash

I've seen Zotac come up quite a lot, but never really looked into their hardware. I just assumed they were a top-tier manufacturer based on the amount I've seen them.

 

Anyway, thanks, I'll keep those in mind :)
