I looked up the newegg site and the price of HD 7950 graphics card in the US is around 16000 while here it is around 24000. Which other computer components are really cheap in the US. Also the same question for Dubai. I'm going to assemble a new computer in some time, and I'm thinking of asking a relative to buy from the US.

Card - warranty = big risk.

Do you wanna risk your money ?

But there would be service centers here as well, no?

Yes, but does the the card you have selected, have international warranty?

Most of the card packaging companies like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI etc do not have international warranty. So you should look at the "warranty" and not for "service centres".

I was thinking of buying the Sapphire HD 7950:

Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100352-3L Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Which other components are very cheap in the US?
