I'm currently living in the UAE, and I've noticed that computer part prices often seem higher here than elsewhere. I've tried to source parts myself to build a PC, but it usually ends up being pricier than a custom-built solution from a store. Recently, I've seen a significant price increase for a PC build I'm considering. It was originally priced at $1,122 but now it's jumped to $1,354! My current machine just died, and I need a replacement quickly. Here's the build I'm looking at for that amount:
- AMD CPU RYZEN 5 7600X
- MSI MOTHER BOARD B650 GAMING PLUS
- BIWIN RAM BW100 6000MHZ 16X2 32GB DDR5
- KINGSTON NVME M.2 NV3 6000MB/S 2TB
- MSI VGA CARD RTX 5060TI SHADOW 2X OC 16GB
- DEEPCOOL POWER SUPPLY PF750 750W
- DEEPCOOL AIR COOLER AG400 V2 RGB BLACK
- ASUS CASE A21 PLUS BLACK
- WINDOWS 11 PRO
Is this a solid deal or am I just getting ripped off? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You should definitely check prices on PCPartPicker to see how much those parts are going for right now. RAM prices are really high lately, so that could be a big factor in the overall cost. Also, if you're under time pressure, that might explain the higher price you're seeing at the shop.
