Does anyone know of a good website who will ship PC components to the UK? (from USA) as they are so much cheaper over there

Remember you may need to pay import duty on delivery.

Technically you have to pay import tax on anything you import, it's just luck if you don't end up paying it.

The parts are cheaper, but you'll be hit with VAT an delivery. Not to mention the trouble you'll have if the parts malfunction.

At the end fo the day, it's probably cheaper to order from within the UK, safer too.

Try Overclockers.uk or Ebuyer.com They have good prices
