Opt for the USA.
There are two types of schools in the US: private and state schools. As the name suggests, private schools are very expensive and state schools are cheaper in terms of tuition. There is a significant difference in fee between private and state schools. State School : University of Houston, Houston, TX.
Private School : Carnegie Mellon University for MS
Private School : Worcester Polytechnic Institute(WPI), MA
Private School : Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI Graduate tuition

MS in comp. science is best in USA as it all the "big data" happens there. The silicon valley offers great opportunities for start ups nd innovation. Though I am not sure how the political change will affect the international admissions but in comparison to UK it offers better post study visa opportunities.

Prepare Required Documents and Funds
Gather all the necessary documentation to prove your eligibility:

These funds must have been held in your bank account for at least 28 consecutive days.
- English language proficiency: Evidence, usually a Secure English Language Test (SELT) like IELTS, is required, unless your university has accepted an alternative form of proof (e.g., strong English scores in high school).

- Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate: Required for certain sensitive subjects and research degrees. Your university will inform you if this is needed.
