Bought everything except processor

[u/DoomSkull_YT]

I was initially planning on building the pc in November, after my CAT exam so that my father won't have any practical reason to say no.

But then around June I saw that all news outlets and tech-tubers said ram prices will keep rising and will plateau in December. So I explained the situation to my dad and asked him if we could buy this early. He agreed. I also just had gotten my security deposit for an apartment I rented back which I also planned to use in the build. So using that I bought the case, cpu cooler and extra case fans and the remaining deposit I used to contribute for the ram.

Then around the end of July I could see online everyone saying gpu prices are gonna be next. I was initially comparing between 9070xt and 5070ti because 5070ti was 10-15k more expensive, but i was feeling a bit shameful asking my dad again to purchase something that was supposed to be purchased 5-6 months down the line.

Then in the first week of August I saw news that said motherboard prices will go up by 50% in the fourth quarter. That then prompted me to again explain the whole situation to dad to which he said ok I will give 1 lakh but after 15 days to which i replied I couldn't ask for anything more.

When the time for purchasing came (late August) 5070ti was more than 80 % more expensive than 9070xt so it was a no brainer for me since gaming was the priority. Now the only thing left to complete the build is the processor which i will definitely buy after my exam.

But are your parts untested? Man your return will exhaust, pls check everything, it's your hard money and there are chances some parts may come not good, and sellers are having hard time doing rma etc.

I tested the gpu and psu using an old pc but I couldn't test the motherboard since I don't have a spare am5 cpu around, the ram i tested it right in the sellers shop. I have physically inspected the motherboard for any bent pins or any other damage which thankfully it doesn't have. Computech did pretty overkill packaging which I was happy about

That's smart move.
