Request Buyer's Guide video for people living outside the US & Canada

[TobyKSweetman]

For all of us whom live outside the US and Canada we all struggle with the absurdly ludicrous pricing of PC hardware and always feel left out when a good deal is taking place somewhere that doesn't ship to the country we so happen to be in; I'm looking at you, Amazon.

I'm making this in hoping Linus or anyone reading would make a video or a detailed post in the forums in the form of a buyer's guide for all of us that live outside the US.
We see many videos on YouTube of techies putting together tiered builds that focus around a price range which only applies to the US. I'm not saying we can't pick out our own parts ourselves but it'd be nice to have a solid "holidays sale buyers guide" video for us that live in Australia (me), Europe, and Asia.

 

Just some food for thought, getting a little tired of watching videos that don't apply to me because of where I live tbh.

the problem is, then you need to do one for every country. there is plenty of things outside of the US, that you cant get in other places that are outside the us. the world is not just "us, Canada" then the rest of the world. the only option really would be for the UK.

 

 

i live in the US so i may be wrong. but that makes sense. you see all the time where people say they can not import electronics without huge fees, so they need to buy locally.

It would be complicated to do so because you'd need to account for some stores that ship to many countries but not all of them, especially European amazon stores and such. It would be really cool but it would take a lot of work because there are so many variables.

There's nothing wrong with asking the forum really, but then again there's those people that get angry at you because there maybe no pcpartpicker for your country (not talking about you, I know Aus and nz has pcpartpicker sites but for other people from other countries) and start bickering instead of helping.

If you are thinking that @LinusTech should do price themed build ie. Gaming PC under €1000 or £800 etc. Thats fine. But there are already international Youtubers who are doing just that. Like TTL (OC3D) who always uses UK pricing for stuff he reviews. So its easier for them to comprehend the pricing in their own market area. Linus could do it but he also would need to pick a country. For example Amazon isn't everywhere and doesn't offer free shipping or sometimes not shipping for hardware at all. So it would be easier to pick stuff from local stores with relatively cheap shipping costs.

 

I've always thought buyers guides as guideline and suggestion on which hardware would perform best in each scenario or how components compare between themselves. I admit that with pricing being so different in NA and in EU, you will have to do much more work when trying to get every piece in its place withing pricing scale.

In a lot of Linus' build guides and buyers guides he will put the Canadian pricing on the components he selects. The Canadian pricing is usually very similar to the Australian prices so you can use that as a guide.
