Building up your PC

Hello,
Where you could recommend to buy parts for building up PC? Because when googling I can find some websites, but they are quite expensive.

Thanks for answers.

    parts can be expensive where ever you look. I use ebuyer. Best to reseasrch into what you are buying tho just to make sure it is suited for you
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!

    i just use google to compare the prices, I often use a combination of aria.co.uk, ebuyer.com & amazon.

    I bought all of my computer parts from CCL and found them top notch, what I found when shopping around is that prices tended to be within a couple of pounds at every site, so buy from where you feel safe.

    I'm quite happy with Novatech & Amazon.

    Amazon are definately cheaper than Novatech without a doubt (eg, I got my SSD for £350 from Amazon as opposed to £400 from Novatech), however I guess you do have to accept you are going to pay more for the privelege of walking in to a shop and facing a human if you should have any issues.

    Returns wise, I've never had any issues with either company.
    Worst I can say about Novatech is they can keep you hanging around sometimes while they swap out defective hardware for you, but that only happens because they like to test it for themselves first before they replace for you (which is reasonable).
    Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.

    Aria. Not only do they have price promises and a wide range, they also have facebook and a forum where they are super active. You can even win some parts there, pity you missed what they did today though.
