Questions need answer(s)

[Delusional Phil]

Hmm ... I have been researching the prices of GTX 980s and GTX 780 between my country and the overseas and it seems that my country's 980 and 780 are $50-$100 more expensive than overseas . And here's the questions :

 

+For future builds , should I or should I not order PC parts from my country or should I get it overseas and ship it here ?

 

 

+Side question : What company should I place my order to ensure my package arrive safely ? 

 

 

 

+Another question : Where should I order my parts ?

 

 

+Is the GTX 780 still worth the hunt or should we move on and wait for the new Nvidia cards which takes more use on the new architecture ? 

 

 

P/S : And still you guys haven't guess what country I'm from since my first post  ^.^ .

#1 often times warranties are only valid in the country of purchase

 

#2 are you including cost of shipping

 

#3 are you including cost of taxes

 

#4 are you including difference in currency

 

Just buy what you can

You'll end up paying more if you order them from overseas, shipping, import taxes and customs will add up to more than $100 for either a 780 or 980. 

 

The only way ordering from another country is worth it is if you're in the EU and ordering from somewhere in the EU as import and customs charges don't apply. But there may still be issues with warranty support if you order from another country. 

 

If you can find a good deal on a 780, go for it. I've seen them going down to around £200 here.

I checked the costs for shipping a $550 980 into Vietnam, and the total price without insurance for shipping came to $690. $140 more than it costs in the US. Even then, it's a rough cost and may be more or less if you actually ordered it.

It was the cheapest one on pcpartpicker.com. Can't check it, I'm on my phone now. If you look up the import taxes for your country, you should be able to work out the costs.
