Buying PC components from US

[Upadhyay]

I was just looking at the hardware price of some of the components and it’s seems that it’s way cheaper in US.

Lowest prices on Asus Sabertooth 990FX at Pricewatch | Page 1

Just wanted to know….

1) Is it normally cheaper in US
2) Is it advisable to buy in US and then carry it to India
3) Do you normally get international warranty
4) What is the custom duty on computer parts

3.depends on brand. But most brands offer international warranty. What are you buying?

What are you buying?

I have heard that there is no duty on computer parts.

I am primarily interested in buying a graphic card, may a mother board if it is significantly cheaper there
