Friends, I shall be visiting UK for a couple of months and I plan to get myself a gfx card from there.
However when I surfed online sites that ship to UK (e.g. *www.dabs.co.uk, *www.ebuyer.com, *www.goldchip.uk.com, *www.komplett.co.uk etc.) I found no appreciable price difference in 7900GT models from what we have here.
Do Tigerdirect or Newegg ship to UK ? :confused: Also can you suggest any site that ships to UK and from where I can make a good bargain ? :p

well these stuff are cheap in US but UK electronic market is alsmost the same price as indian market... so no use getting that from there... if u can manage someone who can ship it from US to UK which is not that costly u can do that.... but US online shops do not send things outside US

I suggest you buy from India rather than the UK. The price difference isn't large enough to risk purchasing from there.

hello, quite frankly i dont even see a major difference between indian & US prices ..especially for intel & also for RAM n some other parts.. maybe for AMD there is a difference but certainly not for intel
