Unfortunately, South Africa does not have a true one-stop-shop – like Amazon – for all the gaming products you could want.<\/p>\n

While South Africans can buy from Amazon, you will have to pay expensive import fees, which often make the transaction more expensive than it would be at a local store.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, South Africa has various great stores that each stock an extensive range of certain types of gaming products.<\/p>\n

PC gaming – Evetech<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you’re looking for general PC accessories or cheap gaming equipment, online stores like Takealot and physical stores like Incredible Connection will serve your needs.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re a hardcore gamer looking for the latest gaming laptops and PC hardware or are upgrading your workstation computer, I’d recommend Evetech.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although there are many stores to choose from, Evetech seems to have great variety in its product range, while offering amazing prices.<\/p>\n

You can buy high-quality PC components from brands such as Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, as well as a range of impressive peripherals such as mechanical keyboards and gaming mouses.<\/p>\n

You can also buy a pre-built PC or grab an upgrade kit that\u2019s tailored to your specific needs.<\/p>\n

Their range and customizability also extends to their laptop and workstation options, and laptop purchases even include a free bag. For some deals, you’ll also get free earphones.<\/p>\n

Evetech offers free courier delivery to your home if you live in main centres (calculated based on the postal code and suburb) – which complements the affordability and convenience of buying from their online store.<\/p>\n

Consoles – Game<\/b><\/h3>\n

There is limited stock of the latest-gen PlayStation and Xbox consoles in South Africa – no matter where you shop. The best store to find a console is Game<\/a>\u00a0and your best bet for accessories is Takealot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are other stores that stock consoles but they seemed to stock one or the other – whereas Game stocks both the PlayStation and Xbox.<\/p>\n

Other stores also offer accessories but Takealot has a much broader product selection and you’re likely to find what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n
