Incidentally, I'm putting together a 9800X3D/5070Ti rig for a fren in the UK. 4TB SN850X, 64GB of 6400MHz/CL32 RAM, and really nice motherboard+PSU+case+cooler. I got it all down to a little under $2k, plus about $150 to get it to the UK. I did the math and worked out that even after shipping and import duties/VAT, part costs are so much lower here that it's still cheaper to build it the US than to do it there, or god forbid, pay a prebuilder. (To be fair, I also deal hunted hard.)
The last part I'm waiting on is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so provided everything works, it should be done (hardware-wise) tomorrow night. Gonna spend at least a week playing with OC settings, and daily driving the rig for a bit to test for stability, before getting her packed up and shipped off to spend the rest of her life in jolly old England. My Bongistani friend ought to be happy.
