Can't seem to find it on Banggood, but this was the product.

Yeah their CPUs are comparable in price with Intel but their motherboard prices, holy crap!! I remember getting my Gigabyte Z690 Aorus…

Just out of curiosity why did you choose AM5 platform? Also go 27 minimum, I've bought the lenovo G27q QHD 165 Hz monitor, not bad for $320…

For what it's worth another performance update is in the works, let's hope its significant. We need to break up the duopoly.…

I wonder if they could be excluded from selling in Australia as they do not follow through with warranty policies.

Mine are still going strong after 3 years, took them on my most recent holidays, the noise cancelling still surprises me. Great headphones…

Don't bother with the most controllers these days, most develop analog drift, I had 2 dual sense controllers that were unusable due to…

I'll give it a go, thanks.

Yeah I used to think Banggood was better than AliExpress but at least they have the guarantee.

Yeah it's a lesson learnt the hard way, won't be buying anything pricey there anytime soon :)

I contacted them at the 11 month mark, due to their speedy customer service it's now 14 months later.

Lesson learnt I guess

G'day All, I thought I take the time to express my dissatisfaction with the business Banggood. In short back in July 2021, I bought a…

I think the RX 6700 XT was a better deal at $599. Hopefully they drop even more.

☹️ I know I wish I had bought.

I'm looking to purchase a 27" QHD monitor for gaming any recommendations? I had the Gigabyte M27Q in mind.

I haven't seen Amazon selling directly, it's mainly been through other PC stores.

Yes, noted. I'm contemplating to buy now or wait until amazon prime sales next week.

Should I pull the trigger or wait for prime day?

PLE Computers selling for $10 cheaper:…

Same, I'm looking to build a new PC but holding off until prime day sales. Hopefully it's worth it.

Just keeping watching this space, prices are on a downwards trend. Hopefully soon.

I'm either waiting for the 6700 xt to get to around 400, but I would also consider a 6600 xt for around 200.

$10 below Australian MSRP, still got a while to go for an actual decent discount. But good to see NVIDIA cards are finally getting below…

Try to resolve with the retailer, if that doesn't work or fail to receive a response, contact your local consumer protection agency and…

Yes, I might just in the short term get a RTX 2060 and enable DLSS to get better fps. Then upgrade when prices really go down. How much…

Price mainly, don't care too much for ray tracing at the expense of fps. AMD cards have finally dropped below MSRP, NVIDIA still haven't.…

All I can say is, it's not your responsibility to pay for such an assessment. All repair costs are incurred by the retailer who sold you…

Agreed, I'm now considering an i5-12600K, noting that you don't really need an i7 as the latest Gen i5 is a good value proposition for…
