In almost every, maybe literally every, country that's not in North America, tax is included in the price that you see. Such that customers can actually know what they'll pay, pretty useful feature ;-)
Same goes for india(tax included)
Shh, don't tell them :P
@Lick On my oh no maths! noooo!
@Lick On my oh man, guess having to calculate the taxes in our heads makes us less intelligent and inferior, oh forgive us master foreigner
@Lick On my but I cannot lie, them not including taxes on price kinda sucks in the US
I think only American shops are afraid to show the actual price, in Europe at least, when something is priced 500 euros it actually will costs you 500 euros.
same in australia.
It's because tax varies by state, so they can't know how much it is going to cost for every customer because their are like 50 different prices.
@@whit882 Would it not make more sense to pay the tax in the state you are in buying the item?
@@whit882 websites can see your IP, so they can also know what state you're connecting from, and just calculate the tax based on location
@@Syntax.error. It's because tax can vary by county as well, so even going by state rates isn't reliable.
Romanian internet might be cheap, but it means little when the prices of food and rent already take up 120% of your monthly salary.
You just basically described 80% of the balkans right there
must be rough over there
@@BlueCatIV ooo yeah it is
@@BlueCatIV It's not rough at all, as long as you don't work minimum wage. A lot of romanians unfortunately have to work minimum wage, which is just as hard as working minimum wage in the US or any other country. But if you earn an average salary or a high one(doctors, engineers, programmers) you can make a very good living here. Everything's cheap, including internet and you can afford to rent a place and also put some money away for vacations or emergency expenses. Also healthcare and college is either very cheap or free here, so you don't have to worry about being in debt.
Priorities right?! I used to live in an apartment downtown that I could barely afford but it had "free" fiber lol.
We need a part 2 with more sites covered.
Keep in mind all European prices (not sure outside of Europe) _include_ tax in the price.
That's 1 thing I don't understand about the US and Canada. They add the tax on after, i want to go shopping not do maths on the fly
@@Gooner333333333 They are used to math with pounds, inches, miles etc... They don't like the easy way with numbers :D
@@Gooner333333333 VAT in the US differs from state to state (province to province), so it's easier to add after the fact, whereas in Europe, VAT differs from country to country.
Pricing - at least pre-tax - in the US and Europe isn't all that far apart once conversion rates are accounted for, but post-tax, tech is usually more expensive in Europe. (though by the time you've imported stuff from the US, you'll be likely to have paid more in shipping and customs fees lol).
@@Gooner333333333 it’s because they don’t want us to know taxes are getting higher 🤣
@@xingbairong we mix it up in the UK, we weigh ourselves in Stone & pounds, but weigh everything else in KG, we measure large distance in miles & short distance in either inches or centimetres, sometimes both, we price our fuel by the litre but measure fuel economy to the gallon, but not a US gallon, a UK gallon... but we don't have a fookin clue what the difference is, if you go into a store having a sale, you'll see different items discounted in both percentage & fractions, often right next to each other... So yeah... 🧐
yes the pricing on that Indian website includes taxes. in fact, almost all retailers do.
lmao who recommended elitehubs to dawid xD?
@@this.is.shashwat dont know i thought of smcinternational or bitkart or volt pc or primadgb something like this
@@this.is.shashwat exactly XD
That's awesome! I think that's way better than "hiding" the final cost right until the last moment.
@INFERNOmoonsault yeah absolutely
Finally, someone who does Romania justice.
Romanian here and agree
@@deez419 la fel bruh
Salut :D
I read "someone who drinks Romanian juice"
Dap, sund de acord.
Got to have the deodorant on hand when the gaming gets intense.
I got an old spice ad as I read this comment
Like 40% of the comments are people from former Yugo commenting on the Yugo joke
I'm proud
Not sure about Denmark, but tax is included on everthing in the UK
Yes, tax is included in Denmark too.
I believe it's included for all of EU since taxes are paid on import. That said there could be extra local taxes that might have effect in different countries, but yeah overall all EU prices start roughly 20% higher than US.
Tax is added
@@xingbairong that's probably due to the 20% sales tax (VAT) that we include in the price told to the customer...
I think the most important thing in all countrys, is the minimum salary, in brasil for example, the minimum is 1100 reais, to buy a pc who cost 8800 reais, you will need to work for 8 months without expending anythin, i think lot of the coutry around the world have a same issue, idk in other countrys but in brazil, no one buys pre-built pc's, because they are pretty expensive, usually, you buy some new parts, in pichau, they sell a "upgrade kit" who comes a processor, motherboard and ram, but normally, you be buy in second hand market

The new place looks fantastic! Congratulations on the move.
Thank you for reviewing our prebuilt pcs. We will work upon the SSD feedback and be sure to include the other brands in at the earliest.
@EliteHubs now way you actually replied!!
It's quite funny since im on vacation to Romania right now from the uk to visit my family for about a month. Beautiful home country
Genuinely loved this vid, keep up the great work dude
I'm from Brazil, and PC here is almost the value of a motorcycle
So a HD cost equally sort of? (Harley Davidson)
Cara demais né?
Pode crer, moeda muito desvalorizada e altos impostos.

@@jakegraham5672 4k compra uma moto usada tranquilo e sobra
I think I could watch a 6 hour stream of you going over PCs on online sites.
I've never built a whole system all at once so I've never had to deal with a complete build price tag. Started with a very modest prebuilt then just did upgrades along the way, case swap and new mb's yes but when your upgrades are spread out over time it tricks your mind in thinking your not spending as much money as you are heh.
Plus while saving for specific parts it gives you time to do tons of research which is quite beneficial, many times that research has helped me make better choices.
So, if your getting a prebuilt I guess just make sure it's pretty upgradable
Definitely enjoyed this kind of video! Love your work man!
lets go! another banger video to check out. thank you Dawid
8:50 8.000 reais is kinda expensive mate, over here in Brazil it feels like 8000 usd would feel to you guys
@@eduardosantiago6948 to ligado fi, sou brasileiro também né kkkkkkkk
Your minimun salary is 9x lower than in the US
@@albergoni2191 yeah, 1000 reais is around 200 usd. Even though that doesn't always mean much, considering that the minimum wage in the us is around 1000 usd, you can kinda see how things feel over here.
An interesting thing is that the minimum wage in 2020 (if I am not mistaken) was 1045 reais, and our ever loving, beautifull and filled with great people government, seeing all the inflation and difficulty of the majority of the population to survive with this salary, made the wise decision to raise it to 1100 reais. And to top it off, congratulated themselves by adding 5 billion reais to their campaign pool.
Yep, purchasing power is much lower in south american countries
Yeah, because Brazil has huge import taxes on everything.
"Who doesn't want to know what it's like buying a gaming PC in Yugoslavia"
As a person from that area,we're too busy in tearing each other apart in wars to care about gaming lmao
I'm not sure why Yugoslavia was the first county name that came to mind. 😅
same bro
PUBG irl lol
This comment brought to you from the year 2001! Give yourselves some credit, FR Yugoslavia is a lot more stable now than it was in the 90s.
Lol
the new studio is looking great! awesome video
This was really interesting. I would love to see more videos like this.
Here from Romania I can't stop laughing when you say 'leu' but you said 'lei' correct :)
Also he chose one of the worst sites for pcs
I live in romania, and emag is a really good place to buy pc components! (Dawid, ur da best!!!)
Maybe not components, I would give that to pcgarage, but prebuilts are great on there.
More of these videos bro, cheers
02:13 The way you pronounced "leu" killed me xd
Yeah lmao "lew"
Pretty sure everyone knows what it is like buying a gaming PC in Yugoslavia…
Its impossible cuz it doesnt exist anymore xD
@@Spark-pv9js That’s the joke
@@RealCobby i know mate haha
love that stealth plane you were in dawid, hope the tickets werent to expensive lol
Brightened my day up cheers!
That’s pretty cool. I’d definitely be interested in more videos like that.
now this is the kind of content i subscribed for
8gb RAM? Crazy to think that's how much memory I originally had in my core 2 quad QX9650 back in 2008. Admittedly that was waaay overkill back then, but crazy that you can still buy PCs with that amount. I still use that PC too. Its a great PC, although won't do modern AAA games now.
For real, 6gb is standard *for phones* now
Definitely need more of these
Nice background of the new storage area
Love all your videos.
Yes
would like to see more
Deepcool matrexx 40 is a cool case it has a lot of space
The new set looks great in an actual vid! , im really digging it
We definitely need a part 2 to this
This video made me appreciate how good of a deal my 3070 prebuilt was. $1,750 for an Aorus master 3070, Ryzen 5600x, and a terabyte of SSD storage.
I have never visited a country that doesn't include taxes in the listed price. I only think the US has that funny feature.
Taxes vary from state to state and city to city.
I still think that it's a fraud not to show a full price. Somebody should sue USA.
@@MJ-uk6lu when a country has different tax rates depending on where you live it makes it hard to actually show the tax.
@@TheSjuris How difficult could that be to do that online? Store could show actual price + tax and then total based on your IP address.
@@MJ-uk6lu doesn’t work that way. They do it at checkout assuming that the reseller actually collects the tax. Not that hard to figure out, though.
Great vid Dawid, More countries please!
Keep going with these series. I like it! 😄
You gotta try evetech from SA, the standard power supply they put in their pre builts are criminal
The prices I've seen are ridiculous and it is not better on takealot
@@pencilcase8068 yeah man it's even worse on takealot, we can't even buy Ram at a decent price in this country
In Romania I pay 6$ for 1 gigabit per second internet speed
I was waiting for this vid cause for some reason i'm so exited about your new setup i don't even know why but i am
I just bought a Lenovo prebuilt! Thanks for the review earlier this year!
Hi Dawid, would be interesting to see how Australia rates in pre built PC's. Cheers.
Badly, judging by component parts here
There were a bunch of good Australian sites recommended. Will have to do a follow up. 😁
@@DawidDoesTechStuff PCCG, Scorptec, Centrecom, PLE Computers, Budget PC, CPL (VERY BAD, avoid for anything to do with warranty), Harvey Norman (equivalent of Walmart) etc.
@@yoss3l755 umart aswell. Very cheap prices on umart !
@@yoss3l755 i would say Harvey Norman would be closer to something like best buy and i wouldn't expect much more from Harvey Norman pre built gaming pc wise other than the regular dell/alienware crap, but I haven't shopped there for maybe 5 or more years so I could be completely wrong
We definitely need a part 2. South Africa needs to make an appearance! And yes our prices include tax.
Australa/New Zealand might also be interesting as there is practically a being remote-tax. Or some other european countries like Spain or Greece.
And while at it, why not take a look at the other big markets in France or Germany to show how much prices differ compared to the US. (And yes, those prices are with taxes, so comparing what you pay for it would be a nice addition.)
I could really watch more of this kind of content. Enjoyable!
yes please do more vids like this!!
I kept reading "pichau" as "Pikachu" lol
even we brazilians do that joke "ah yeah i bought an ssd on pikachu... i mean pichau"
Just started the video but would like to comment: Brazilian prices always include taxes.
new studios looking good dawid!
Would love to see a part 2!
If you ever do this again cover Playtech in NZ they are legendary for there good prebuilts :) sadly ... being NZ that means cost. The other option is GG PC
Dang it Rowan. You are advertising here too?
yes im a romanian and we got pretty cheap fast internet
Im in Hungary and we got fast net because of you guys, so high-five
Very interesting to see offerings and prices in other countries. You might want to consider making this a regular feature as I don't think any other techtubers are doing it.
In my country Singapore, there is this company called Aftershock. It is also in Malaysia and Australia. The customer service is amazing and cable management is also good. For now pricing is not that good but it’s very customisable. Lots of options as for prebuilts.
I am from India and that price for 5600x and 3060 is actually too good (yes, it includes taxes) to be true because of GST everything from overseas is super costly here
I got my pc directly from pcspecialist, I chose the parts and it came in around 2 weeks. The pc was well built, great cable management and came completely flawless, with expanding foam in the middle. And most importantly,
It had dual channel ram ;)
@@Aa-wq3ef well, I chose the components in it, but they did build it for me.
I just got a custom build from PC Specialist. Overall good, with some good and bad points. I selected the option to provide my own video card (few builders offer this option, which is a missed opportunity in the current market). Cables were managed well, although one of the chassis fans was connected to the AIO Pump header. They did run PCIe power cables in though, I was expecting to have to install that myself. I selected no OS, but they left the Windows OS they use for burn in installed with a background explaining if I wanted to use Windows Home I could activate it, moved my license over from old PC with no issues (it seems completely unmodified, presumably they keep their burn in tools on external media). XMP was set up correctly. At the time of purchase I calculated the cost to self build at around £30 ($50USD) cheaper. Not worth the hastle of self building IMO. I opted for one of their own branded CPU coolers and even during gaming, its inaudible from under the desk. During an Aida64 stress test, the 11600KF reaches 46c on the package and 57 on the highest core. This is with the "180W TDP" option, at £13 more than their 125W TDP option, I thought why not. I hope sharing this experience of them can help others.
Great idea for a video, like to see more chap, well done 👍👌
that was fun ! PART 2 please 😁
On the EU the VAT tax is included in the final price by law.
Yes, for stores mainly selling to the general public. If your googling happens to take you to a store specialising in B2B trade, you will either see everything with 0% VAT or you might get an option to either include the tax or exclude it. After all, business expenses/investments aren't taxed (or the taxes can be deducted).
Ironically, PC World is among the worst places to buy a PC in the UK!
Oh I dunno, probably THE worst.
I was gonna say this, I would never buy from Curry's/PCworld. They are overpriced and try to force their warranty on you at every opportunity.
@@petrolhead0387 There's a guy that works in the Currys near me, and whenever someone goes in to buy a gaming PC, he just gives them my contact details 😅
@@petrolhead0387 Curry's? Wow that sounds really British.
@@ranjanbiswas3233 well I mean Curry is the national dish of the UK, so yes it is a very British name.
Very happy that you included Romania thx David
The new studio looks good Dawid. I hope you'll fill all the racks with pre-builts and grade 'A' e-waste peripherals.
Don't forget when you buy a PC from India the nice people from Microsoft ring you a few days later to process your refund :D
Kitboga?
In south Africa it's a pain to buy a prebuilt system
I'm trying to think of a place. Where do you buy one here?
@@LawAndBedlum however in South Africa the market is hilarious because everyone here thinks if it's got dedicated graphics it's a gaming beast, I mean yesterday I saw a prebuilt system with a 3rd gen i3 and a gt 210 for R4300, that's roughly $300!

G'day Dawid,
this was a really cool video idea & it would be great to see more countries,
I really liked that Shark Store Website
Its one of the more expensive sites here in denmark, compared to other stores.
@@royalizetheplantman they seem very much like PCCaseGear, Scorptec & Mwave here in Australia where every PC is the Base for a Totally Custom build if you want it to be, rather than HP & Dell & even some SI with their Mass Produced with no choice set ups

I love how he’s flying a Bomber around 😂
Really comfy transport. 😂
I would love to see a part 2 more focused on asia.
Same, this video feels lacking
I would love to see Afirca
Awesome video Dawid !
Wow this happened faster than I imagined.
Now Im sad. May take months before he gets these. Well thanks for the follow up, glad you picked up on this one.
Fun fact about the UK parts market:
You don't need to convert to USD, stuff is literally just the US price but with the $ symbol swapped to a £ most of the time
Yeah. We get scammed.
Well. It was, before the current market lol
USA is generally tax free prices, and UK has 20% VAT added.
Why is tiny world traveler Dawid flying a B-2 bomber?
In case a country refuses to let him in?
The new place looks great.
Even though you did not mention Aftershock from Singapore, but I think whatever SIs with transparency over everything is the best. Good support and worry your money
The funny thing about Brazil is that here the store themselves have fanboys for some reason, so they get away with some pretty sketchy dealings. Also, most large brazilian techyoutubers have very close relationships with at least one of the big 3 stores here, so it's basically impossible to expose their BS.
Corruption all around 😔
Here hoping Dawid makes a part 2 with Finland's Jimms
yep i was thinking about the same :D
I really would like you to do another video like this
As a person from former Yugoslavia country (Croatia), you just confirmed why I'm subscribed to you! Much love
NO WAY THEY SELL 710 PREBUILTS IN OTHER COUNTRIES!!!
They're just that good
@@86hrs33 They are just fucking legends!
Ew that Brazilian one sucks lol, didn't even have an SSD and had 8gb ram. It has a biostar board. Last time I saw a biostar board was in an oem compaq computer in the early 2000s. ABS is currently the best value for a 3060 prebuilt right now, in the US at least
Yeah our marketing on tech SUCKS SOOOOOOO BAAAAAD. Getting any computer on brazil atm is a monumental task thanks to covid and our disgusting presidents, and our dollar coin currency just keeps rising and rising. Our stocks ends so quickly on anything we all wish and most places heavily uses budget or old ass components even to this day. Thankfully my pc is way better than those prebuilts from Pichau with a very barebones motherboard with 2 usbs and vga but it took a lot of patience and repairing since the mfs that built my pc has put a sata cable below my motherboard, bending the motherboard :( but hey it still works after forcing it...
Yes! You've slowly became my favorite tech youtuber. Maybe try shopping in Ecuador? Prices are mad high
I would definitely like this to be a series on the channel
Dude's asking why no comments on a 1.7k USD brazilian computer.
Bruh, nobody buys those, nobody have that money to expend on a computer, we will keep buying used lga775 until intel starts producing those again
What GPUs do you see often with 775 builds? I have 3 compact asus systems with core 2. The maxed out one has a GT1030 + Quadcore xeon and is suprisingly capable.
@@tweakz_tech they usually have some gt550, gt430 or 610 *from what I've seen,* but a 1030 on a 771 modded xeon sounds cool. Ever thought about upgrading to a x79 or 1156 board? Thats what I did back then, those x3440 cheap xeon are very capable and oc very well from what I've seen.
@@SummonerArthur upgrading motherboard in those systems is unfortunantly not possible because they have a weird formfactor. Maybe I can upgrade the systems with one of the motherboards listed, but they are all low end stuff.

Cool video, that was a really good idea!
The video we all needed!
i know you *usually* dont do actual good prebuilts but i noticed you havent done a digitalstorm prebuilt and i think it would make a cool video
PC Specialist are my preferred goto company for pre-built systems now, having tried most other companies over many years. I still prefer to build my own system for myself, friends and family but with availability of graphics cards over the last few years that hasn't always been an option. So far PC Specialist haven't let me down, and if you order through their own website rather than via Currys/PC World you can customise the system to your needs. They also seem well built too, all standard brand name parts so easy to upgrade yourself. The prices quoted for any of those companies in the EU also generally include tax, none of this uncivilised nonsense from over the pond of having to guess or grab a calculator to work out the actual price :)
The stuff they sell through Curry's isn't as good. You can tell by lack of exact info on PSU, ram, motherboard, drive and other components that is how they get their profit. If there is an issue I am not sure if Curry's fix the fault and not PC Specialist. This I wouldn't like at all having had dealings with their customer service in the past.
Scan, Novatech and Chillblast also do some good prebuilt or customised systems. I am still weighing up which one to use at the moment.
please do more videos like this one
Great video, do more. Something a lot of folks don't know: I've lived around the world and can tell you, for even pre-Covid days, outside the USA it's more expensive relative to what you're getting than inside the USA. Not just the UK/EU but Asia and South America. And another thing: in tiny countries and in southeast Asia countries, the rejected products (not just PCs but everything, including household appliances and cars) that would not make it into the USA because of some small or large problem get reduced in price and re-sold to the locals. Fact. A lot of people don't realize this because they don't travel and live outside their home country as much as I do.
