Why pay with bitcoins though? Why not cash in at an exchange and do it the old fashioned way?

Thanks for the link, I'll be looking into that.

The reason I wan't to pay with bitcoins is that in my country you get taxed 30% of your income that show on your bank account when it exceeds 1000€ in a year, and to buy the GTX690 requires a bit more than that here in Finland. By ordering in from somewhere else, I get it about a little over 150-250€ cheaper than I would in Finland and I only have to pay 24% import tax (not sure if that's the right term in english) from the GPU's price that I'v payed. So in the end I would be saving about 100€ after paying the taxes. And on the plus side, I would be supporting the bitcoin ecosystem rather than the capitalistic babylon Cheesy

there is also a site called spendbitcoins that let you spend it on anything, and there exist reshippers too!

vet ikke om bitcoinstore.com har det, men du kan lete der, evt. maile dem. ellers sjekk på amazon og newegg også, men newegg shipper ikke til norge.
Sorry I dont speak norwegian(?), since Im a finn, but I was hoping for a place that ships to Finland and accepts bitcoins as payment. AFAIK, Newegg doesn't ship outside US and Amazon doesn't accept bitcoins anymore. Correct me if Im wrong.
You're not likely to find one for the better part of 2013 at least, there are easy ways of getting something shipped from the US, an example -and one I've used myself and can vouch for- is MyUS (www.myus.com) where you're given a US shipping address which they forward your packages from.

Seeing as you'll be paying a lot of money for a rather small item I figure it might be an option worth exploring...

I'd be interested in purchasing GTX 690. I have only found one shop that sells it and accepts bitcoins (bitcoinblaster), but they ran out of them and dont know when they are going to get a restock. If anyone knows another place where to get it from, I'd really appreciate it if you could share.
Thanks!
