Lol. sorry i never heard of PC route before today. I checked with Nanotek and they have one unit for 155K and PC Route can order one and get it to me for 149K. i also checked about the RMA process. PC Route will handle the RMA process in the event of any issues and i am assuming that is the same with Nanotek as well? Has anyone experienced any issues with claiming warranty with Nanotek or PC Route?if there are no issues with either of them, then it just comes down to price and time (at least 10 business days).
Nanotek has been my go to shop for most components the past couple years while I was in Colombo. Tried getting that for you invoicing in our name at least to be able to get just the CPU, but they were not willing to let go of the 5900X without buying a mobo and RAM. If they agreed to let you buy that, go for it.The 10 working day pre-order is another option but didn't suggest that to you because I figured you'd not be wanting to wait 2+ weeks.Can't comment on PC Route though, no experience dealing with them, Mads might know more about him.
