Why are you looking on a UK site for your PC parts?

The savings aren't that massive, isn't it still cheaper in the US?

Strife212 · 29 Apr 2011 at 16:24

Isn't everything cheaper there anyway?

I would have thought that like most electronic items it would be cheaper normally overseas.

Not going to find and name any places in US, just to keep safe, but asking in a few places and on google might bring something up.

EDIT: Yeah, it is cheaper in most cases it seems.

Yeah why would you buy computer components in the UK when you live in the US...

Google is your friend

The same website that I was looking at, lol. I know a few people from the US who use there.

Hopefully that doesn't class as a competitor link in retrospect!

They seem to be the best mail order co in the US from reading about on the US hardware forums, although most people tend to hit their local Frys/Best Buy etc. rather than mail order from what I've read.

Always used the egg when living in the US and saved a fortune with the rebates - no idea why you would be looking here? I don't even see them as a competitor to OcUK tbh.

I imagine because there's a link at the top of the page and he uses these forums?

Newegg don't ship to the UK. It's hard for OcUK to compete with them.

Random question: is HD6870 to a HD6950 2GB a decent upgrade?

Yes.
