they would work but they won't ship you american dollar to pound conversion stuff i told you it north america only mostly
if it ship in uk it would be noted on amazon.com ebuyers & Overlcocker.co.uk / DABs.com have Great price each on special hardware Overlcocker.co.uk seem to have Great deal on p45 motherboard & Video card

Maybe he is coming to the US on a trip, or knows someone here who can buy it for him.

But to actually answer your question, yes they will work just fine, there is no difference in parts sold in different places.

But if you think Tigerdirect is good, check out Newegg.com.

After shipping costs you probably wouldn't save much and if you have to RMA it you might have to pay for shipping costs neting you a loss overall.
