Where do you buy your parts?

I'm sure there are certain names and stores out there people use. I only know of Overclockers, so it'd be a big help to know the go-to places people use for good value and quality.

Overclockers

I bought pretty much my entire computer worth of parts from Novatech, they had a couple of very good deals on at the time and their prices were generally in line with everywhere else on the market. Scan, eBuyer and Amazon are all also good.

Amazon. Would rather have prime delivery than a slightly cheaper price.

Overclockers have like the biggest selection, downside is they tend to be expensive.

Ebuyer, Amazon, Scan, Novatech, etc
Also if you have been with ebuyer for a while, they start giving you next day delivery like forever :s-smilie:

Ebuyer are strange. Some deliveries take them ages, and some are pretty much next day every time. It's hard to figure out when 'supersaver' means next day, and when it means '****ing ages'

Ah I know what you mean, happened with one of my products...........it may be down to if they are busy at the warehouse or not, and how they dispatch it to be honest. Some take ages because they might not even be in stock and they are awaiting it or its been over ordered or something.

I've had all my stuff from Amazon bar my GPU, because it took forever for it to be stocked on amazon and when it was the price was 30-60% higher than the RRP, overclockers had a very good service and were only about 5% over (which was pretty much the best price out there at the time).

Ebuyer and Amazon. Amazon is cheaper on literally all computer components and you get one day delivery (if you have prime) as well

Completely built up computers are always bought in Luxembourg as it is much cheaper there. This goes for laptops and desktops.

Computer parts, either Amazon or EBuyer or depending on how many just my local computer shop.

eBuyer.

When I'm building a new rig, I like all my parts to come from one place and I like their website layout. It's nice and clean.

I just got an email about something I bought from there saying it's delayed because of a "temporary shortage of stock", with an "estimated lead date" of the 24th (I assume that's the day they expect to have stock in and send my package).

Shall I just wait? Or is this one of those dirty lies where the stock never comes (or doesn't for weeks), so I should cancel it now?

The builds always end up expensive on there though. I paid about half the price it showed me for mine.
