Cheapest supplier of latest components - Trade and Finance

patwa_2

Hi. I'm looking for a cheap supplier of computer parts that also stocks the latest components. I applied for an Advancetec trade account back in November and whereas their prices do seem to be at the lower end of the scale, their customer service is a bit lacking, although the rest of their service is good. However, they do not do finance options, which is something I'd be looking for, even if it's just 30 days credit.

I was wondering if anyone here who builds computers, maybe for a business, knows of a supplier that would offer trade prices and that also stocks the latest components, example of which:

Asus Striker Extreme
Intel QX6700
eVGA 8800 768MB PCI-E

and so on, that maybe does finance options and that is reputable and reliable. I'd rather buy all my parts from the same supplier but would want good prices. I build quite a few computers so would be looking at a trade account, with appropriate finance options - sorry I repeated myelf there.

Thanks.

I am not trade but I do build my own machines and use https://www.scan.co.uk and https://www.ebuyer.com

Hi, thanks for your post. I took a look at Scan, and for a top-end component list, they came out £51 more expensive than advancetec, but for the finance option I might well go for them - cheapest isn't always the most convenient after all.

I'll wait to see if any others have any recommendations before deciding finally. BTW, I will NOT go MicroDirect.

Hi, thanks. I had forgotten about Aria although I did use them in the past for smaller stuff.

I have now finallised the prices for the Intel QX6700 at £561 and the Graphics cardd at £373.

But it's always useful to have backup suppliers.
