You cannot really compare prices like this. In the UK we have to pay VAT (Value Added Tax), also our wages are different, we got the NHS, and its things like that, that affect prices.

It annoys me, but that's the rate of currency and tax. If you enjoy things like the NHS, lower university fees and things like that then you need to suffer the cost of more expensive imported items.

meanwhile in Brazil (here) a 970 GTX costs 657 dollars, that represents 419,22 pounds... That is sad !

And btw the minimum salary is 165 pounds, so we need more than 2.5 minimum salary in order to buy a GTX 970.. :/

That's VAT. The Americans instead get to cry when they pay for health care or education.

$10,000 hospital containment bills and $40,000 college tuition for the win...

Oh, and dont forget the mandatory insurance, at $500 a month, that will still leave you with a bigass hospital bill

Yearly taxes are also fun, as well as $7/h minimum wage (least in my state)

We get taxed on our wages for the NHS, whether we have been in or not. Also our education is as expensive as yours now, £9K a year.... so £36K ($56K) for 3 years at uni. Granted we don't pay up front but we do still have to pay it back through wages.

Meanwhile, the cheapest iPhone 6 unlocked new costs 700. Then there's education. College is like close to 30K a year, tuition, ALONE.

*Sigh* You don't know anything about the prices. Carries have cheap prices for locked phones which are on a contract......meanwhile the 700 price tag is for unlocked phones.

We are the greatest county on earth until you need to go to the hospital for being sick, want and education with out having to sell organs, want a job after you get your education that makes enough to pay off the loans, want to use mass transit or want a pay raise, or need to seek mental help, oh wait maybe we are just polished poop now and a lot of the rest of the world is beginning to think we stink.

Taxed and you still have to pay for prescriptions, was in a car accident a few years back and couldn't walk and the doctor told me it was all in my head. Took me 3 months to get back to normal.

I cri evertim.

A GTX 970 costs 272 pounds on amazon UK, and in amazon US it costs an equivalent of 215 pounds. A GTX costs an equivalent of 360 pounds in amazon US and in uk it cost 470 pounds. A i7 4790k cost an equivalent of 215 pounds. In UK amazon it cost 262.

My build costed 950 pounds from amazon UK, it would have cost less than 700 pounds if I were able to order parts from ameirca.

Stop complaining, I just got a 4690k and Z97 motherboard for the price of a i3 and a h81 board just by talking to Asrock (got a £20 rebate) and Amazon drop the price for a Z97 anniversary to 45 quid and got the 4690k for the lowest price its been on Amazon.

Either wait, make sacrifices or pay the price.
