Hey guys, how are the prices in Korea for computer parts compared to the USA/Can?

Is it cheaper for me to buy parts in CAN/USA while I'm here and bring them to Korea, or is it cheaper to just buy in Korea?

Thanks!

Except for graphics cards most mainstream stuff is roughly about the same price. Maybe a little more in Korea.

For high-end, definitely USA is much cheaper. Korean vendors make silly prices for high-end stuff.

Depends on the parts. As eamo said. The newer the hardware, the more stupidly overpriced it is in Korea.

USA = cheapest hardware in the world.

Ok, so I should prob just disassemble my PC and bring it. I need a new GFX card, so I will prob pick one up before I leave. Hopefully cases/monitors are not too pricey there...
