    Hey all.
    I'm gonna buy my gpu from amazon US. The rest of my parts I'm gonna get on hardwarevarsan.de
    I was just hoping some could tell me would a gpu from America work in my PC build made up of European parts???? My only concern is the different power levels the US have compared to europe! And yes my PSU will be from europe.

    It'll be fine they're all the same. You could get taxed on the card though, which will add 23% to the item, something to be aware of. Shipping will likely be steep too

    Yup I know about the Import charges and processing nonesense. But I have a devious plan to get it home here without any of those charges! Mwahahahaha!!!!! My uncle lives in the US. I'll get it delivered to him for free and he's coming to Ireland in like a month;)

    If there is a problem with the card you will have to smuggle it back to the US because the warranty only covers the US and Canada. The only part I'd ever consider buying in the US would be a CPU.

    Yeah I wouldn't bother either, you might as well buy the item for cheaper 2nd here in Ireland than buy it new in the US as you won't have a warranty. Would be fine for a CPU though.
