Save Money on PC Hardware in Australia
Save Money on PC Hardware in Australia
Computer hardware costs a lot in Australia, usually quite a bit more than other counties, but there are some things you can do to save hundreds of dollars on your next PC build. With these simple tips I’ll show you how I saved over $500 AUD on my new Threadripper workstation, but the steps apply to all PC hardware so you can save serious dollars on your next gaming machine!
I’m not having a go at any Australian retailers in this video, just pointing out that you can potentially save quite a bit of money shopping elsewhere in some particular instances.

Can i ask how you connected the psu to the wall because i just oredered a psu and i try to plug it in the wall and its an american plug? Can anyone please help me. (Im australian)
Finally someone i can relate to, we get ripped off for everything here in Australia.
Get your uncle that lives in America to ship it to you
Gst only applies to items over 1000 dollars if you order online
Mysterious magic Is definetly the reason everything is overpriced
U.S is generally cheaper because of the population v the population here. As for GST try the UK which adds 20%, and many US states add s states sales tax.
Get them from aliexpress 😁
I have a 400 dollar budget i dont need something really great i just need something that can play csgo warframe ironsight at a minimum of 60 fps
Is it still cheap? Is Amazon good?
Is the gst tax still applied for over $1000
This is so true well rip
Not sure if I’ll get a response but is this still worth doing? I’m planning my build and it comes out to around $1300 aud when buying parts from Australia, would it be worth trying buying from the US?
what’s the BEST gaming pc specs to buy for $440aud all together
I’m living in Melbourne and I’m studying filmmaking
I want best pc for film editing to buy but I don’t have an idea
Please help me if you know
yup
Hey guys I’m. Building a pc for my little brother and I’m no tech expert but the build is 700 au dollars so to cap what did he explain in the video I didn’t get much
Yeah, mate we just keeping ripped off here in Australia everything is very expensive.
any new tips for 2020?
I can’t even afford to buy a decent PC better than my 5 year old laptop without paying a fortune. I really genuinely wish I lived in America instead. I’m sick of my bank account getting ANNIHILATED with expensive rent and over-taxed out of date goods. Oh well, back to the TV to hear about prince Harry and watch politicians act like 7 years olds. (ty for good video)
the australian dollar is 68 cents us
G531g is $2000, it should be under $1000 for its power.
I dunno if u will reply but can I go on amazon and change it to USA settings? Will i pay in aid if I do this?
How do you know if the parts ship to you in Australia
looked on amazon australia today 2000 dillary dollary doos for a 2060 SUPER WTFFF
Australia has very good buyer consumer rights with your warranties and replacements. Buying outside of Australia you may not have as good cover so best double check that
DOA and warranty on international buys what happens then ? waiting waiting and more waiting
The GST of 10% on import is now on ALL items of ANY price since over a year. You should update the video and see if it is still worth it now. I just bought a 2000 AUD PC here in Perth which in the US would be a 1000 USdollars worth, but I doubt if it would be much cheaper importing. Ps, they built it for me.
bruh where are ur specs
2:37 **linus has joined the chat**
Australia has a stronger dollar, yet everything is fucken overpriced
Are u aloud to make orders after orders so it’s not 1K? Hacks
Thread ripper and 1080? That’s a big bottleneck
Well I’m fcked with corona
One thing but, y would u want to get a 900 dollar motherboard. Just get one off Amazon for 50-150+ dollars
It sucks, my dream is too upload videos and do what I love.. I can’t even play fortnite and record too make montages, can’t afford to get a good pc to do this and I’ve had this gt1030 pc for ages and I can’t even record properly even with the lowest settings on obs:((
This is a very unpopular video 🙁 very educational aswell 🙁
we sure do get ripped off anything with technology is a rip off. the PS store charge $100 for day 1 game. which is why digital will never take off here, it’s also the reason we are the highest pirated country and why local retail struggles. with things and the government won’t listen! we also pay more for movies music etc etc the list goes on! trying to build my own PC now and most of the sites and videos I see are all America where it sounds so cheap then you put in Aust dollar and it’a always double more, and now the idiot government have put GST on purchases from overseas now too. so we screwed trying to buy from overseas cheaper as well.
buy. from. MSY.
Yes we do get ripped off but, in America they have a lower average wage in here in Aus we have a higher average wage.
I love staying in Australia
It’s so frickin expensive here like in this store PCCASEGEAR a RTX 2070 is like 800 dollars
I currently have a 1.4k budget to buy a pc , any recommendations on where to buy from now?
Thanks for your time 🙂
Newegg charges gst for Australia now
i vary much appreciated this video, i didnt know about a few things you said before now, time to buy before they change the GST law
but also, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DOCTOR WHO SHIRT??? no really, i NEED to get one
newegg is shit they scammed me when i brought a pc case and it never arrived
the govt makes majority of its international income through trade tax the item coming into australia gets taxed first so companies raise the prices, then to that gst is added, thus retailers raise their prices again thus everything here in australia is 30 to 40% more expensive on average then in us and other countries
It’s ridiculous how much PC hardware costs here in Australia. Some people on amazon are asking for 1.4k for the 1060, if your going to buy a PC buy the parts from America
we get ripped off on everything in Australia. we are too isolated, huge land with a pretty small population. there’s not that much competition out here. most retailers are probably buying all their stock from the same importer anyways
