Anyone know if PC components are cheaper in the UK than the USA right now?

I moved to America but I'm (finally!) coming back to the UK for a visit just after Christmas and in dire need to upgrade/rebuild my gaming/VR PC which I built in 2012....!! I'm probably looking to save some money by buying used, as long as that's not a bad idea since crypto mining became a thing in the decade since I built my PC.

I know the chip shortage and GPU inflation from mining is happening EVERYWHERE right now but I'm just wondering if anyone knows if by some weird quirk of supply/demand things like CPUs/GPUs are any cheaper in the UK right now than in the USA, or is it all kind of the same when you're buying used? Or should I be looking to buy new?

Interesting; it's not often you might get something cheaper new at a brick & mortar rather than used on eBay or similar...! Maybe I'll try in shops, but is there any way to know what the MSRP of cards like the 2060 is, so I can tell if a shop is even inflating their prices??
