Why not check the list of verified distributors from here https://www.amd.com/en/partner/distributors and for Nvidia https://www.nvidia.com/en-in/shop/wheretobuy-distribution/

Check your location and maybe there is some website near to your area that can be trusted.

Or you can try newegg.com, ebay.com, and aliexpress.com

If you're planning on start mining with either of those I highly advise you to plan ahead. Don't dream big only to realize that the gains will be inferior to any possible liquidity.

Start by making numerous scenarios :

  • What hash rate will I get if I buy X GPU's?
  • How many power will that system consume?
  • How much space (m2) will this system/rig occupy? Do I have the conditions to put it somewhere without being in social areas (lounge area, room, etc)?
  • How much do I pay for electricity in my area?
  • When will I get my investment back? Is it something that I'm comfortable with?

Those are some of the questions that just occurred to me from reading your question. Once you do make the decision then the links shared by BitMaxz are all that you need in order to not being scammed.

well. i calculated those in many gpu's
also about the space and power costs.
space is not an issue i do live in a house . not apartment. and have a solar system thats powerfull enough to back 40 to 50 gpus 24/7 (included for house equipments) mostly till rtx 3090 i've checked.
only the gpu prices mostly shock me right now. but i will try to start with one system only if i can even find where to find them all at normal prices..

I personally haven't bought from them(because shipping fees can be a bch depending where you're from), but Newegg[1] is a pretty reputable online computer hardware store. Also, they accept bitcoin! So that's a huge plus if you want to spend some.

Also, since this topic seems to be moving to the Mining direction, probably move this to the Mining[2] section. Move button is on the bottom left corner of this page.

AliExpress, amazon and ebay these are the three online stores I use
for PC equipments shopping and I have no problem buying from these websites since few years now, if you are total newbie in shopping online amazon is far more safer for you than others

xtravision, my advice to you is to be careful when shopping, and if at all possible to make a purchase in a physical store - and if it is not possible to buy only from verified sellers - because scammers are everywhere these days.

As for the links, my suggestion is to look at the following :

https://spending-bitcoin.com/category/bitcoin%20hardware
https://spending-bitcoin.com/category/electronics



Also, since this topic seems to be moving to the Mining direction, probably move this to the Mining[2] section. Move button is on the bottom left corner of this page.

Given how that board is strictly moderated, I would not advise the OP to do that - and it seems to me that this could very easily end up in the OT.

Buying from retailers is the best but unfortunately right now price have surge up for GPUS because of mining profitability, the best advice I can give is invest your money on coins rather than gpu because it will be extremely harder to get your ROI back in time

There's shortage in GPU these days but as they say, newegg is one of the best retailer where you can buy PC parts.

AFAIK, it's a global shortage and that's why those cheap gpus before got a mark up and as well as the RTX or this depends on your country. But that's what I know, it's a global thing.
