Ridiculous, I know. Many other components are also priced so that you may as well just assume the UK price is the same number as the US price: I've checked the Intel 7700K, Ryzen 5 1600, and a few others, and they were about 10 less than 1:1. | |
| Nov 21, 2017 at 9:24 | comment | added | timuzhti | Even if you were using straight exchange rates, given the current weakness of the pound, 88 USD translates to more like 65 GBP. A quick look at the actual prices show that the situation is even worse than that. An Amazon search shows the WD Green to be closer to £88 than it is to £65. OP's request looks to be unrealistic, unfortunately. | |
