Okay so I'm going on a vacation next week. Currently I'm saving up for a kick-ass gaming PC (I have like 300 Eur + the 250$), so I tought I could buy a video card or a processor there. But the main problem is if I buy it there, "I can say hello to the warranty" (shipping not working stuff back would be 3expensive5me). Are PC parts so much cheaper there in FREEDOM land than in Europe? (I'm from Hungary).

Sorry if the question is dumb.

Depends on where you are and what your hobbies are. America has a lot to offer that is either not available in Europe or cheaper.
For example in bigger cities I would recommend checking out some good stores for Sneaker or Streetwear. Comics are way cheaper in the states so a nice little stack of 'em would be nice as well. Eat a lot of the unhealthy but incredibly tasty fast food they've got.
Whatever your heart desires.
I wouldn't buy something for your PC if I was you. Enjoy yourself.

Okay, now I know what penny boards are! To be honest I don't know. I saw these in Germany a lot tho too. Depends on how your currency stacks up against the dollar. Don't think that they will be incredibly cheaper or have a larger variety of boards.

Parts are generally cheaper than in Europe, but not by much and depending on how much you spend you could be hit by duties.

Then there's also the risk you damage the parts in transit.

Warranties are generally worldwide these days, assuming it's a respectable brand.

Tbh, if I was you I'd buy clothes.

Branded clothing is much cheaper in the States.

Just remember that you generally have to add sales tax onto the marked prices in some independent stores.

Where are you visiting?

If it's NYC, then I recommend Century 21:
