First, I'M STOKED THERE'S A GAMING COMMUNITY HERE!

 

While I will be coming to Thailand with a new gaming laptop, I will want to build my own desktop rig once getting settled. Here in the US, online prices usually beat out local. Is this the same in Thailand? While I believe Newegg now ships to Thailand, I've never had the experience with them. So where are the best deals around your neck of the woods?

My personal experience has been that there is not much difference in cost between buying locally and buying online. There is however quite a difference between Thailand and the US, so you might want to do some cost comparisons and maybe bring a few things in your suitcase.

Graphics cards are a problem in Thailand at the moment, very expensive, lots of fakes.

It might be a good idea to buy the graphics card, processor and memory in the USA and bring them with you.

That's good to know. I think I will go that route (buying the card and memory) here and bringing it with me. Can't have a fake card, good PCs cost enough as it is. LOL.
