Quote: "I understand you guys really get ripped off on computer stuff there."
As long as you don't convert dollars to pounds and expect that to be the price you'd pay for it over here then you're okay.
If however, you buy something from a site that only sells in dollars, you
might only have to pay the conversion price. But not always.
If £200 if a bit more than you want to pay my advice would be to try and save money in other areas. Ebay is a great place for cheap software, obviously you should always think twice and check the feedback but if you're looking for Office or Adobe software there's a few people who buy it in bulk and sell it cheap on eBay. Or you could go the freeware route if you want to make massive savings.
It's also worth looking at OEM software. iirc the law states that it's only to be used by the people that build the computers but you're building yours so there ya go. I'd even go so far as to say that plugging in a keyboard, mouse, speakers and monitor counts as building.
And if you hear of a computer fair that's not too far away grab a fistful of notes and indulge yourself in some money saving shenanigans of the computer kind.
