Hi I'm looking to buy a laptop. The msi gs70 stealth pro is the laptop I was looking at however it is quite expensive here in the UK it ranges from £1050 for the gtx765m model to £1350 for the gtx870m model. However I have noticed that on American sites and American amazon it is alot cheap due to the rate of the pound to dollar being good at the minute. I am just wondering if there are any charges or any complications that i would receive for ordering from America. And are there any sites you would recommend to buy from.

There would be shipping charges, likely exorbitant, and since Amazon would go through "proper channels," possibly customs and/or VAT added on as well.
Do you know anyone who routinely travels between the UK and US? If so, you might get that person to get it for you (possibly in a Microcenter), then bring it back to you.

There would be a hefty shipping charge and/or duty fee.
