So I always hear on youtube or in forums Australians and Canadians complaining about how much they get stiffed on hardware prices.
I was talking about this with my wife so I decided to check some shops for price comparisons.
And holy cow...
Either i'm seeing some amazing deals or you guys don't buy anything in the UK!
i7 7700k
Australia - $464 aus
Canada - $460 cdn
Britain - £335 gbp
if we convert them that's £281, £275 and obviously £335.. GD that's 16-18% cheaper
Okay, lets check the R7 1800x
Australia - $669 aus
Canada - $620 cdn
Britain - £490
and conversion... £405, £371 and obviously £490.. What. The. HELL. 18-24% cheaper!
Am I missing something here, or does the UK withhold the rights to say "sorry boys, we get shafted more, quit your whining."
