            <title>Build PC before SST tax or wait?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4627793</link>
            <description>Hi so I&amp;#39;m looking to build a new Ryzen desktop myself. But after hearing that Service and Sales Tax (SST) is starting this September in Malaysia, I&amp;#39;m worried about the pricing of the PC components. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now I have 2 choices, build my PC before SST is implemented or wait until early 2019. I&amp;#39;ve heard that nvidia is releasing their geforce GTX 11XX soon, and AMD has some new upcoming stuff but I&amp;#39;m scared my budget can&amp;#39;t handle it after the tax increase. I&amp;#39;ve already asked this question to my local computer shop but they say they aren&amp;#39;t sure what will happen since SST affects the manufacturers first. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m planning to buy some of the parts from the local computer shop and the rest of it will be bought from Lazada. How will the new tax system affect the prices from the local shop and Lazada? Should I buy them now or wait for upcoming stuff next year?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please give your opinions, I will be very thankful</description>
