    Hi there, only me the mega nublet.

    I have a build that I fancy making. and for the life of me I can only come across sites that are Farr more expensive than newegg in US.

    Thanks but i tried them first, they work out at over 100£ more expensive than Amazon (who are mega dear compared to US prices)


    MoBo: MSI Z68A-G43 (B3) – $99.99
    CPU: Intel i5 2310 – $179.99
    RAM: G.Skill 1600MHz 2x4GB – $39.99
    GPU: Sapphire Radeon 7850 - $239.99
    HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB – $79.99
    PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W – $69.99
    Case: NZXT Tempest 210 – $54.99

    That was the US prices and it would work out under £500 sterling. However I cant find a site over here that sells them for less than £650 which is just silly.

    Please help!

    Yeah prices on computer components don't really work like that, sorry to burst your bubble. Partpicker is likely to find the cheapest options, you have to account for VAT etc.

    Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£40.50 @ Amazon UK)

    (Prices include shipping and discounts when available.)

    At least that's a little closer.

    And second try, the GPU is different but the 6870 is still a decent card if your budget is tight. Also a slightly cheaper PSU.

    Those 2 are the first places i check because usually their cheapest and their customer service is excellent as well as good delivery prices (ebuyer free within 5 working days is usually 2-3 days delivery).
    ebuyer.co.uk
    scan.co.uk

    Just who i personally use and am happy using them.
