So I'm on a tight budget, and I found Bykski and Barrow, which are companies based off in Asia. They provide really low prices, which is what I'm looking for. However, both companies sell basically all of the same types of products, at around the same price. I'm wondering which brand is better in terms of quality and performance (PETG tubing and GPU water blocks specifically). Thanks!

Both are decent options as per the usual though after sales service or support may be a bit lacking compared to other options out there.

Same, but I see most people using Bykski for their blocks and Barrow for fittings and what not. I'm just stuck between Barrow and Bykski's GPU water blocks. They are the same price. It seems like Bykski is more popular for their water blocks, and Barrow is more popular for everything else, especially fittings, I guess I'll just get a Bykski water block. If there's any difference, it'll hardly be noticeable. Thanks for your help!
