Is tech expensive in your country?
Gpus are expensive in my country. I want gpu but expensive. No money. I am sad.

there's nothing worth playing anyways

>>212856161
I really liked Helldivers 2

>>212856161
You can do so many cool stuff with gpu other than vidya gaming. I would love to compute pi's value to billionths or something like that

>>212856161
this, anything worth playing can run 60fps/1080p on a 10 year old 8gb GPU

My GPU was 10 hours of casual min wage
It can play every game I want to play

4070 ti super
7800x3d
64gb ddr5 6000mhz cl30
B850 motherboard
2 nvme gen 4 2tb SSD
850w seasonic psu

>>212856327
You can buy a house here with that

They do have a 25% VAT, aside from that I dont think we are charged a premium compared to msrp. At the very least for new products, Americans probably have better sales than us.

>>212856342
My PC's price isn't even worth 1% of an apartment here

>>212856255
I bought one to run and fine tune local llms
it got old after a few months and now i'm a few hundred dollars poorer

I have a 16 year old pc. But i have no money so i cant buy even an athlon with no gpu being a thirdie sucks while a mcwagie in the first world has multiple ps5 and a top of the line gaming rig :(

>>212855585 (OP)
Russia
Average
Tho i had to buy a shitty gpu as a temporary solution until 5080 ti or super I'm aiming for

>>212856327
i plan on getting something fairly similar

Here is my cs2 gaming rig. Opinions?
All parts are third hand

>>212856457
Wym it got older? This is not a hamster you retard?
>>212856588
You could unironically find a good job (easily) in oil industry here, bunch of arabs and turks earn a lot here
You can apply for internarional corps here , SOCAR could be hard for strangers idk, i am more in tech side so i dont know a lot about oil industry, just from friends

>>212857409
By friends i meant normie uni accompanies, 0 emotional attachment to them, wouldnt care at all if they got abducted or something like that

how is this even possible

>>212857080
9700x is better than 7700x and almost on par with 7800x3d
Buy an 8-layer mobo with 4 memory slots and preferably not an asrock

I have a steam deck

>>212857783
x3d buff is massive. I side graded from Pajeetzen 7600 to 7600x3d and the change in performance is immense in CS2.

>>212855585 (OP)
In Greece you can buy an Intel Arc B580 for 260 euros and play every game at 1440p max settings so I wouldn't say it's that expensive right now compared to a couple of years ago when it was genuinely horrible.

>>212857844
whats the usecase?
>>212857783
>>212857932
I wish I was a firstie
>>212857970
stop lying, that card is not that good

>>212858195
for that price it is

>>212857783
i dont need that much memory DOUGH

>>212857970
You can buy a used 3080ti for that price lmao

>>212857349
>no case
minimal and epic
gj sir

190k pinoy pesos = $3,300+ real burger shekels

shit is fucked

turd worlders can't into taxes and math so they just slap $500-$1000 from the actual msrp and then convert it to pinoy pesos

>>212858630
Well if you can find it used and if you get it for that price and if it works then sure I guess lmao.

>>212858607
It's not about memory size but future-proofing for zen6 and cudimm. You only use 2 slots on 2channel memory config anyway.

>>212855585 (OP)
everything not produced here has up to 100% tax rate. GPUs usually coast around 50% more than in USA, iPhones almost double the original price

>>212860893
thank you computer russian bro i will look into

>>212861007
>everything not produced here has up to 100% tax rate
this is a joke right

>>212855585 (OP)
Most of the time yeah. Chemical taxes, tech taxes, import taxes, 25% VAAT etc. We pay extra for everything.
I paid around €1200 or so for mine (in parts) plus shipping.

>>212861562
i wish it was. we need to protect our non existent industry

>>212861562
R$10.499 = 1883 USD

>>212861673
>>212861773
I was actually curios what you guys produce to see how much this might and affect you and you guys basically make nothing but food, damn
>>212861773
>R$10.499 = 1883 USD
1,200 here

>>212861773
Cheapest here.
12 988 Kronor = 1329 US Dollar.

>>212861874
this country is nothing but a giant farm with a ruling government employees class leeching from the average Joe and lobbying against anyone who tries to change it.
Our government recently created a huge tax rate on Aliexpress and other Chinese eCommerce so our shit eCommerce can have monopoly over the market and sell rebranded cheap white label Chinese products.
>>212861883
the average salary in Brazil is something like 350 USD kek. i guess only Japan can compete with USA prices when it comes to tech

>>212861669
That case is so expensive and that psu will explode in 1 year usage good luck

>>212861669
>>212862380
I agree with the azeri here, get something with a mesh front panel because glass = no airflow, also power supply is one of those things you just don't cheap out on, it fails and it takes your whole system with it. get one from a trusted brand and cheap out on the case if you can't afford it

>>212862380
matrexx 50 is literally one of the cheapest cases

>>212861669
should've gotyten a 5060ti desu
t.9060xt temporarily haver >>212856970

>>212862494
lancool 207 is only 5$ more expensive and is way better but to be honest a lot of the time you don't even need to buy a new case, tons of people giving em out for basically nothing or for free 2nd hand

>>212862380
€90 is expensive for a case? Kek, what? It's one of the cheaper options here. Glass front isn't optimal but I've had zero issues with temps so far (peaked at 65c on the gpu, 71c on the cpu at heavy load for several hours).
>psu will explode
I've had nothing but good experiences with DeepCool psu's. My last one (550w) is 5 years old and has been running 24/7 since I got it.
On the other hand, I've had both Corsair and Seasonic psu's explode/die on me randomly.

>>212862633
>lancool 207 is only 5$ more expensive
It's $45 more expensive here if you can even find it in stock.

>>212862525
>should've gotyten a 5060ti desu
I will never buy a Nvidia GPU again. Overpriced garbage from a shitty fucking company.
My 1080ti was the last good one they ever made.

>>212862636
90 euro for a case? Are you retarded? I would understand if you are super rich and dont care, but thats how much I paid for my 32 gb ddr5 vengeance 6000 mhz 32 cl + thermal paste + cpu cooler thermal assasin 120
I would never pay that much over a metal box
The same case with front mesh panel here is about 90 AZN btw

>>212862636
>psu
Its not about the brand name but the psu model, that model fuxking sucks and will explode in any small anormal watt increase
I have a xpg core reacroe 750w that I bought for 150 azn (was so expensive)
You have to be a special retard to be live in firstie communust country and still buy crappy stuff

>>212862633
nihha it was almost 2 times more expensive than matrexx when i checked

>>212862817
90-100 euro on a case is cheap here yes. Unless you're buying something 10+ years old second hand or some horrible China case from Amazon that barely holds together.
>>212862889
>that model fuxking sucks
According to who?
It's one of the best selling ones here and get top grades by most sites and customer reviews are also good. Two of my friends also run them and have for a while without issue.

>>212862817
that's not much tho mine was 250 ish

>everyone has expensive pc's
Here I am on my several year old i3 12100f, RX 6600 and 32GB of DDR4.
Works great for 1080p gaming.
Paid around €900 in total for my rig (not including monitors etc of course).
Might upgrade next year or so.

>>212862944
I would never pay that much for a case, it is just retarded
I really liked deepcool ch260 but it is fricking 70 usd, I could instead save more with savings and buy rtx 3090 kek?
See >>212857349 , 0 dollar case
>>212862967
If you meant 250 euro, thats the price of 3060 used here. That much for a non practical metal rectangle is insane
>>212863181
>he thinks 900 euro is cheap
I fucking hate firsties for real. I have built am5 for 460 euro including everything except for gpu, again see >>212857349

>>212863181
is that 50mx? are they any good?

>>212863294
For us it is cheap yes. We have taxes on everything electronic related. We have no choice.

>>212863355
>is that 50mx
Yep. Over 10 years old, running strong. I just swapped the original pads for a set of picrel. Comfiest headphones I've ever had and really good audio as well.

>>212863294
it's fractal north xl tg, not sure how much it is in az

>>212863294
>I would never pay that much for a case
Ok good for you.
But 90 eurobucks is about what an average pub night cost here (beer €8 each, a single shot of vodka is around €7) so for a decent case it's nothing.

>>212863294
250 euro for a used 3060? HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAAH

>>212863494
even if I had 5000 euro a month salary, I would not pay 90 euro for a case. You all are simply entitled

>>212863437
>fractal north xl tg
looks cool, but nowher worth 250 euro. I am starting to think prices here are cheaper than EU's, how is this possible?
>>212863526
go to tap.az (ebay of our cunt) and search it yourself

>>212862817
My Fractal Design North XL case was 1999 kr/€176 on sale last Christmas kek and it's the second cheapest case I've bought

>>212863692
That is way way way way overpriced what the hell. Are you seriously bringing this up as some kind of good bargain? I'd rather pay 90 euro for a good case than that shit.

>>212863692
>I am starting to think prices here are cheaper than EU's, how is this possible?
No shit bud... Here in Scandinavia for example we pay electronics tax, chemical tax, 25% VAT etc etc on EVERYTHING electronics related from cables and cases to GPU's and motherboards. Even stuff like headphones, keyboards and everything else as well.

>>212863692
>here are cheaper than EU's
im in Russia, it's priced at 250-350 euro here

>>212863746
we also have insane taxes (35 percent), bribery and corruption on customs. People usually smuggle shit but still I cannot believe it is cheaper here than yours considering supply and demand

>>212863805
you are also getting ripped off draftie

>>212863805
try to suck more german cock sasha, why would you spend that much for a case?

>>212863934
we all are compared to amerimutts who can go to walmart and buy at msrp

>>212863829
Not him but out of pure curiosity, how much would a pair of Audio Technica ATH M50x be in your country?
Here they cost 1790 SEK / 158 Euros.

>>212863987
because its not that much for something that will stand on my table for literal years?

>>212863989
american prices don't include sales tax
it's not as cheap as you think

>>212864014
its about 176 euro, again you can look at tap.az website if you are curious for other things
>>212864021
it is much for something that will stand on your table for literal years
it is a metal case
you can buy 2 dollar office case and put your components there, it will still live for years.
again, it is a metal case. just a case, not even a component. It is just retarded. If you care about aesthetics and want to look cool, sure. But practically, it is retarded

>>212864014
That's 149 here so same price basically. But some of the other shit you posted, yeah you're getting ripped off nigger.

>>212864140
my 14900k +5080 will turn something the size of office case into an oven doe

I also wouldnt pay that much for a "studio quality" headphones. Damn I wish to be a firstie so I wouldnt care much about prices. I have chinese IEM i have bought like years ago, the audio quality is insanely good and it was like 30 or 40 usd and its expensive in my standards

>>212864140
>you can buy 2 dollar office case and put your components there
Office cases won't even fit modern components like gpus and the coolers needed for the cpu.

>>212864331
no clue about water coolers, because they are expensive for their purpose, but air cooler heatsinks do not care what kind of case you use? majority of pc cases have standard atx mobo support
maybe long ass gpus would not fit, I agree in that part, but could be fixed easily with a drill and modification on that case.
>>212864273
did not know you were that rich sasha, enjoy it then

>>212864432
>but air cooler heatsinks do not care what kind of case you use?
Oh yes they do. If you're gonna air cool a modern mid-range/high range CPU you're gonna need a pretty chunky one to even stand a chance.
That means a minimum of 150-160 mm of clearance above the motherboard. Might not sound like much but office PC's are always compact and horrible inside with terrible clearance and zero airflow.
>Höjd över moderkort = how much space it needs above mobo
Then you have to put into mind spacers behind the motherboard, cables and everything.
There's a reason modern PC cases are so bulky.

>>212864432
Air coolers are huge anon.

>>212864732
>>212864822
I also have thermalright double tower with like 160mm clearance, I dont think I would have difficulties fitting on one of these

>>212864984
Here's a 2016 Dell office PC. Ran as a media pc for a few years.
One of the most common office PC setups available.
You aren't fitting anything modern inside. Not a gpu, not a cooler, not a psu. Nothing fits. Airflow? Zero.

>>212864984
You might fit inside but that looks more like an old gaming pc case. And anon, you need A LOT of airflow for an air cooler. That thing has non. No place for case fans or anything.. That cpu is gonna explode.

>>212865097
>>212865163
you guys have a point but still buying a case for almost 100 euro is just retarded, it is almost as expensive as my motherboard, and I still think it could normally work for not so high end components like rtx 60s and 70s, ryzen 5 cpus etc

>>212865278
if you wanna save money how about you start with the fact that nvidia gpus are for the most part terrible value and have been for a long time now

>>212865278
>but still buying a case for almost 100 euro is just retarded
If you think that, that's ok but that is just normal for most people in firstie countries.
Can you buy stuff second hand and get away on a budget? Yes of course. Is it worth it? Depends on you completely.
But for me? I rather buy a new case, made for modern components that is easy to build in, has proper space for cable management and lots of air capacity to keep my components cool.
My PC is a central part of my living room. It's very visible, right there on the table.
Do I want some scratched up, modded old office tower standing there? No.
90 euros is a small price to pay for something that will be used and visible for years to come.

>>212865433
This. That right there is the biggest money saver of all. Avoid the Nvidia scams at all costs.

>>212855585 (OP)

I'm building a PC and RTX 5070 Ti costs like 870 euros lol

>>212856327
for me it's

>5070 ti
>7800x3d
>32gb ddr5 6000mhz cl30
>b850 motherboard
>2 nvme gen 4 2tb SSD
>corsair rm850x 850W PSU

almost identical to yours

really good CPU cooler and case too

>>212865433
I need cudas lil bro, cannot afford to build a pc just to play vidya games

>>212856161
Mount and blade warband is available

>>212866284
For many productivity tasks Intel is as good or better. AMD is usually trash though.

>>212866608
But then again the 9060 xt gives you 16gb at a killer price and that's also very useful for many productivity tasks.
It really depends on your niche usecase. Make sure you don't pay the nvidia tax for no reason before you start complaining about cases and shit.

>>212856161
This.
I bought a 4090 and all I play is Tamriel Rebuilt.

Also in my country
