PC gaming is an expensive hobby, which is why MyGaming has decided to conduct a price comparison between two of the most popular PC shops in Gauteng, namely Evetech and Rebel Tech.<\/p>\n

Evetech and Rebel Tech both have physical stores based in Johannesburg and online shopping platforms that offer consumers nationwide delivery.<\/p>\n

We chose components that both tech retailers stock to see how their prices compare.<\/p>\n

GPU<\/h3>\n

If you add up the totals of all the GPUs listed, it ends in a tie.<\/p>\n

However, the two shops tend to stock different GPU manufacturers – Evetech stocks mainly ASUS and MSI cards, while Rebel Tech primarily has Gigabyte and ASUS cards.<\/p>\n

CPU<\/h3>\n

Rebel Tech’s CPU prices were cheaper than Evetech’s in most cases.<\/p>\n

You can choose either store if you want to go with an AMD CPU, as the price difference is negligible.<\/p>\n

Motherboard<\/h3>\n

You should buy from Rebel Tech if you want to run a 12th-Gen Intel processor with the ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-F motherboard, as it is nearly R5,000 cheaper than on Evetech.<\/p>\n

However, premium motherboards that support AMD processors are generally cheaper on Evetech – especially the ROG STRIX X570-F, which is over R2,000 cheaper than on Rebel Tech.<\/p>\n

RAM<\/h3>\n

Rebel Tech beats Evetech fair and square when it comes to RAM prices.<\/p>\n

However, it is important to note that only Evetech currently stocks DDR5 RAM.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Evetech’s DDR4 offerings go up to speeds of 4000 MHz, while Rebel Tech only offers up to 3200 MHz.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, if you plan on building a new 12th-Gen Intel gaming rig, you will be better off buying a motherboard from Rebel Tech, as it will save you a couple of thousand Rand.<\/p>\n

However, if you want DDR5 RAM, you will have to look elsewhere – such as at Evetech.<\/p>\n

Evetech is also your best bet for high-end motherboards that support AMD processors.<\/p>\n

Most other components are similarly priced across both retailers.<\/p>\n
