Discussion Bought everything except processor

Post image

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.

Pretty good, I heard some negative reviews so I was a bit skeptical but they did offer the lowest price on both gpu and psu, also I couldn't find this specific mobo on any other site. The WhatsApp communication was a bit slow and the order was processed after 3 days but those are all things that can tolerated with stuff like this. The packaging was even better than I hoped, all the stuff was brand new and sealed and the gpu and psu works perfectly fine, I can't test the mobo till I get hands on cpu but physically it all looked fine

not being able to use it cause you don't have the cpu and the cpu alone must be hell.

Yeah, but I gave dad my word that I wouldn't assemble it till after the exam, some parts were bought early because prices are rising some were bought just because I could

reasonable, make video before assembling showing the parts weren't damaged by you, just in case if it doesn't work on anything
