I always look elsewhere and use Amazon as a last resort, especially for expensive or easily scammed stuff like PC parts. I prefer B&H for that in the US. They ship free and faster anyway over $50. And I save time by not needing to inspect everything to see if it’s used or counterfeit.
I really just hate the marketplace models Amazon and Newegg use.
Unfortunately, I don't have a reliable local PC parts shop so I feel forced to shop online and import from the US if I want quality at a lower price. Items sold or shipped by Amazon have been the most reliable for me so far. It's not that I don't want to look elsewhere but I don't have that luxury. Local shops have been sketchy with their quality and their prices.
