buying AMD 5200+ from Jordan is a stupid idea

i am in middle east in IRAN , and the price of some components here is more than the US , but X2 5200 is $132 and 5600 is $153

monitors , rams and vgas are quite more expensive than US
but CPUs and HDDs are fine

I didn't realize we had such a diverse group on tomshardware.

Me either, i died'nt even know you could sale us technology in iran and jordan, but anyhow welcome my middle eastern brethern. The x2-5200 is a great cpu, but the x2 5600 is awesome, win win situation either way.

American merchandise is sold everywhere internationally, if it weren't, they would make nowhere near as much profit as they do now.
The only problem is that taxes for electronics, especially in the middle-east, are exceptionally high. Often times you'll have to pay about twice as much as you do in the US to get the same component (sometimes it's less than that but you can be sure you'll pay at least an extra +30-50% of US prices).

Even if it does, you'll still have to pay an extra for international shipping and taxes, and that will raise the prices considerably. It might however still be cheaper than buying it locally.
