I'd try amazon maybe yo u can find the parts and then it should give you a shipping estimate. Do you get amazon in saudi arabia? prime membership is great 2 day shipping.

FedEx will run you around $330 USD. Using Amazon's Global Shipping, to Saudi Arabia, it should be $50 or slightly less. Depends on the actual weight, but those are good ballpark figures.

EDIT: There's even this site http://gear-up.me/ which delivers to Saudi. I have used their service, very reliable (living in UAE).

So, amazon's global shipping will cost 50 dollars and fedex will be 330 usd ? WTF , The weight is 7kg or something

FedEx ain't cheap. If I didn't have a business account with them, it would cost me $120 to ship a 4kg box from Colorado to California.

Edit: That's for overnight express - two day is about half that and ground is about a quarter.

It depends on lots of things. I have shipped a couple of computers and in general $50 3-5 Business Days US - Mail is fair. IT goes up from there. Priority mail is a little more and if you have to ship over seas there are customs costs and other costs involved. Should always disclaim your shipping with USA only shipping. Good luck.

Thats how people make money these days

Its the same logic with buying a pre-built computer.

Buying a pre- built computer will be way more expensive , and it sucks !

I just worked up an order for the items you listed, minus the mobo, and the shipping cost to Riyadh (I used the address for the Marriott Hotel) would be $30.63 using AmazonGlobal Standard Shipping (10-14 business days). For some reason Amazon won't ship motherboards to Saudi - I'm guessing it's either technology-transfer restriction or a warranty restriction but it could be something else entirely.

Thats exactly what I meant 😛

I literally saved around 1500-2000 SGD when I built my enthusiast grade computer.

Is that positive or a negative? *confused*
Well, it will be even more expensive for shipping it from the US(Amazon).

Positive , but now i know that when it's shipping to saudi arabia it costs around 600 riyals , but the parts are way more expensive than that of amazon , so i think that am going to order from amazon instead because it'll be cheaper

Dont know your laws but in EU if you order from outside of EU you must pay around 22% tax if you order value is more than 22€ so if you order something for 100€ you must pay 122€. So maybe in Saudi Arabia you got similar law
