Best bet would be to contact amazon.

Then you have have to figure in customs fee's when it arrives there, Amazon will do a full declaration!
Here shipping is std + per pound package http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_v4_sib?ie=UTF8&nodeId=596188

It is a good card. How much are they saying shipping is? If you do international fed ex or something....how much is it saying?

it's not a matter of shipping but a matter of customs fees for your country as rolli59 said, and don't forget to factor in any fees you might incur doing the currency exchange (and the exact exchange rate you end up getting). when it's all said and done, you may very well end up paying more trying to buy it from the american website

Ah gotcha. Yeah even coming from the US to Canada, I am often hit with fees that are huge. One thing often times is you can look at Fed Ex .. I found that if they deliever, they often add a flat cost of fees for Canada into their shipping and it is often less than what it would be if it was coming in normal mail.

I had to pay a extra $100 for customs fees or whatever plus $30 for shipping, So it only ended up being about $70 cheaper with a total of about $600, I am not willing to pay this much, Do you recommend a R9 280X, I found a cheap one on a NZ website

 

[rolli59]

Yes 280X is good for 1080P resolution!

The 280x is enough for every 1080p game on ultra. Only some bad ports (Watchdogs) would need you to drop Ambient Occlusion and maybe some AA.

Do you know if this one is any good? http://www.powercolor.com/us/products_features.asp?id=512
Would you trust powercolour?

 

[rolli59]

Only reason to buy PowerColor is if they are cheaper than the others, they are a budget brand and have been around for a long time. I had one of their cards once and sold it in full working conditions 3 years later so they are safe in my experience.
