To be honest, almost everything is cheaper in the US than over here in the UK... :(

But beware about customs tax - you may get hit pretty badly:

i have no intention of telling customs thats y i was looking for the smaller things
also will there be any good releases b4 june to make average things cheaper

here is what was sugested for the build

Asus P5KC, £73.21.
E6750, £118.91.
MSI 8800GT, £169.99.
Geil 2GB memory , £37.59. (after Corsair this is my favorite memory)
Corsair HX520w PSU, £63.31.
Maxtor 250GB SATA HD, £36.89.
LG DVD/RW Rom SATA, £17.34.
Microsoft Vista Home Premium, £61.41. (OEM system builders version)

Thats pretty good, but you might want to consider the new E8400, if the price isn't that much higher - its very good. Also, a few people have been having some problems with the P5K board in the US, so you might want to buy that over here.

Corsair XMS2 is $34 from newegg, so if you can order that whilst you are over there, then you won't find a better deal. :)
