Question

Gaming PC Components in Korea?

Dec 1, 2014 3:16PM PST

I want to build this computer:http://austinnotduncan.com/builds/photon/
And I gathered everything on amazon, but a lot of the components did not give international shipping. Plus, the shipping was already very expensive. I tried to stay on a 500$ budget, but after including the monitor and os cost, the total price totaled at 800$. So... If someone could help me find these components online where they international shipping is possible or suggest a whole new build at around 500$(ex:OS,monitor,speakers,keyboard and mouse)

The list of the components that can't internationally ship from Amazon:

<div><div>MSI A78M-E35
(Yup, thats pretty much it except I don't really know what Amazon means by "This item is also available for shipping to select countries outside the U.S.)"

Aliexpress. Free shipping to Korea by some from Asian suppliers. Just make sure they have a good shipping record just like on Ebay.

I don't see the exact motherboard you wanted, but some very near using the A75 instead of the A78 chips in the motherboard designator.

Here's an example;
