High-end Intel CPUs more expensive in EU due to strong dollar

High-end Intel CPUs more expensive in EU due to strong dollar

Interesting, as the US Dollar strengthens itself, the prices of some product in the EU start to rise. High-End Intel CPUs for example are seeing a strong increase in pricing. The Core i7-4790K has risen from 280 EUR to 300 EUR.

The i5-4690K's price increased from 190 EUR to 210 EUR and the Xeon E3-1231 v3 went from 195EUR to 220EUR. 

Interestingly enough prices on video cards, motherboards, power supplies and AMD processors remain steady. Intel's lower-end SKUs like the Core i3, Pentium, Celeron and Atom processors are hardly affected by the strong dollar. Intel might keep the pricing of the lower-end models stable in these price-sensitive line-ups.

Anyone noticed the same for Nvidia cards ? that's the reason I didn't go for a 970, because in USA I could get one for 350, here it was more like 380 euros or more ...

So I ended up getting a second hand r9 290x windforce for 250 swiss bucks and I'm quite happy about it !

I got my cards for ~370 euros, it was still worth it imo.

However when looking at X99 mobos, DDR4 memory and of course the 5xxx CPUs line, I can only dream of building a rig with that. Prices are way, way, waaaay too high for the perfomance offered.

We always get screwed by the conversion here in the Portugalands. If a product on american sites is going on average for 400 dollars i bet my ass it´ll cost at least 400€ where i live. Remember the ps4 price reveal? They don´t even try anymore.

I agree, i wanted to upgrade my motherboard and CPU to i7 5k series, but they are way too expensive for their performance, both CPU and MoBo, then the DDR would come into place too making it insane if we compare to performance gains over 4.6-4.9k series CPUs.

Guess i'll wait for new socket and hopeful they aren't as expensive.
