Why you should use Amazon to build your gaming PC.

Thinking of building your own gaming pc? Now is the time with the global chip shortage bottoming out, and GPU prices steadily falling, it seems likely that parts may become more easily accessible (or affordable) online. With that in mind, is it really a good idea to go to Amazon for PC building help? We have spoken before about Amazon’s reliability in tech products. From my own experience, my first PC build was done all through Amazon, and for first time computer builders, I highly recommend just sticking with Amazon and following an online guide. However the main reason that this question comes up at all is because of why some people think it’s better to shop for PC components elsewhere,

Reason # 1 is compatibility.

Amazon won’t automatically compare all your items to see if they are at-all compatible. There are plenty of websites out there that allow you to select inputs for parts, and it will tell you if you can make a PC out of them, most notably PCPartPicker. However I believe this can be a little overwhelming for first timers, and honestly, sticking with an online tutorial and filling you Amazon cart with all the necessary components is the simplest way to go.

Reason #2 is availability.

Normally Amazon’s main attraction is broad selection, however in the midst of the GPU and chip shortage, there’s really nothing more that Amazon can do other than wait for their stocks to one day replenish. Finding a fair priced GPU, as of now, is not as impossible as it was a month ago, but still quite ridiculously difficult, if at all possible. The only way I was able to get my hands on an RTX 3090 was by driving almost two hours to the nearest MicroCenter and showing them my license so they could make sure I wasn’t scalping. However, if things start to settle down, and more fair prices become available, buying GPU’s and other components online would certainly save some of that hassle.

Reason #3 is Prime

If you have a Prime account, then your shipping is Fast and Free, and who doesn’t like that. My experience is that Amazon delivers much quicker than other ecommerce sites and they’re reliable. I especially like that you get a delivery notice and a photo of the item on your porch as soon as it’s delivered.

  1. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

    1. Thanks for the heads up, there should only be one image to load on the gaming PC article and when I look its fine, I know that for some products that are embeded as amazon products, clicking on them will cause an issue but I’ll look into pictures not loading correctly, thanks!

  2. I have seen many useful items on your site about pc’s. However, I’ve got the thoughts and opinions that lap tops are still not nearly powerful sufficiently to be a good choice if you frequently do things that require lots of power, like video editing. But for internet surfing, microsoft word processing, and quite a few other typical computer work they are just great, provided you may not mind the tiny screen size. Thank you sharing your notions.

  3. Thanks for sharing superb informations. Your web site is so cool. I’m impressed by the details that you抳e on this website. It reveals how nicely you perceive this subject.

What an ideal web-site.

  4. Hello, Neat post. There is a problem together with your
    website in web explorer, might test this? IE still
    is the market leader and a large element of folks will miss your
    fantastic writing because of this problem.

    1. Thanks for letting me know. It’s odd that it displays really differently across browsers, but I’ll definitely look into it!

  5. Good site! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a great day!

  6. The very core of your writing whilst sounding reasonable in the beginning, did not work well with me personally after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a short while. I still have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one would do nicely to fill in those gaps. In the event that you actually can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being impressed.

  7. Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    1. I used wordpress but not the regular wordpress creation thingy, I used wordpress.org which is a little different, as the website is actually hosted by godaddy and not wordpress.

  8. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme.

    Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for
    you? Plz respond as I’m looking to create my own blog and would like to know
    where u got this from. thank you

  9. Hey! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to take a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Fantastic blog and brilliant style and design.

  10. Hi my friend! I want to say that this post is amazing, great written and
    include approximately all vital infos. I’d like to look
    extra posts like this .

  11. Amazing blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a
    little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform
    like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
    Any suggestions? Many thanks!

    1. I would suggest starting off with a free web hoster because they’re really good for beginners, and I wouldn’t suggest putting any money into it until you use it more.

  12. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each
    time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Thank you!

    1. Hi there, I checked in the WordPress settings but there doesn’t seem to be anything I could do for you on my end, try blocking the email address that is automatically sending you the comments, that should do it.

  13. I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your site?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.

    Maybe you could space it out better?

    1. Thanks for the suggestion, I have been thinking it would be a good idea to break up the text with more images, I’ll try it out on my next article.

  14. Hello there, I do believe your web site could possibly be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I take a look at your site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has
    some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
    Other than that, great website!
