Is nxgamers.com a good site to buy gaming desktop computers from? Also, how much do I have to pay for taxes around, when I buy a gaming desktop computer from that website?

seems their website is for sale.

I can't actually find their site. I can't say I have heard of them
I can find a youtube channel with name but no one actually selling PC?
Sorry here is the correct one

Looking at more recent reviews from this year on Walmart, seems they are known to send a different PC to the one shown.
  1. Some are getting PC with no graphics card in them.
  2. the listing for PC doesn't mention power supply used or what motherboard.
I have to think the models you looked at would have a GPU since its mentioned.
They do say to contact them for some details if you order.

calling a PC that only comes with a 5700g a gaming PC is a stretch. Its built in graphics isn't amazing.


in a lot of cases, you could make it yourself for cheaper and possibly get better parts.
Not sure I like playing Roulette with my part choices.

I don't know about taxes

They are 2 generations behind. The best they offer is a 5700g when you can buy 9000 series CPU now. I wonder how many are second hand.

I went to their website, and they seem to cater to the low-end, so integrated graphics and cost-cutting on PSUs probably isn't out of the question. But I imagine their PSU is probably made by the same OEMs in China that make most of the rest of them. They just don't slap a sticker with a name on it on these.

A no name PSU is where I started 25 years ago. They can be a weapon used against storage devices designed to shorten their life... or maybe that is just my experience.

PSU is one of the first things I pick on a PC now. Often before the CPU itself.
Don't just buy anything cheap, don't treat PSU as just an extra thing to buy at end.
They keep your PC alive. Cheap parts can kill.

It just takes one going bang for you to take notice. It killed my GPU and Windows install as well. (though PSU was 6 years old so due for retirement as its warranty only 4 years).

Having one made by a known brand is a good way to keep parts alive.
Seasonic and Super Flower are at top of that list.
Corsair are high on it too.

Funny then that my next PC will have an NZXT C1000 PSU. Its just better this year. Essentially tied for 1st in 1000watt chart (there are two versions, an old one which has bad reviews, and the updated one from last year, which is much better)

I'm in no way advocating for buying a PSU when you don't know where it came from or who made it, but the cheap PC builders save money by buying directly from OEMs who may not have a commercial brand of their own, so there's no name to put on it, but if you look at the PSU, it should at least have a model number on it. Then you use the model number to see who made it and what brand normally sells it and get all the specs. If it doesn't have a model number on it, stay as far away from it as possible. It was almost certainly made by one of the junk manufacturers who sell stuff on AliExpress, and the good outcome will be if everyone safely exits your house before it burns down.

Of course, some OEMs, usually the better ones, do have a commercial brand. For instance, I'm sure you know that Seasonic is an OEM that makes the NZXT PSUs and also PSUs for a number of other big companies, but they also sell them under their own name.
