Best Buy? As a top of the line shop? No way. It is a national chain with inflated prices on most stuff, but they do have an occasional good sale. you can usually forget cutting edge hardware. they carry RAM and some vid cards in store, plus desktops, laptops, printers, networking gear, hard drives, and whatnot.
best Buy ain't really that bad, but when I see the newest thing on NewEgg and then go to Best Buy and they haven't even heard of it, and when they get it is 10%-50% higher. I was amazed they had my mouse in. I am even more amazed that they had it for the same price as NewEgg. Since I have to pay tax for either one, I actually saved the shipping charge.
yeah, you guys in the UK have it rough since they charge y'all out the yingyang for components. Several around here have actually had US members buy the stuff for them and ship it across. Lot of trust involved in that, but it works out a lot cheaper.
