Good places to buy cheap pc parts

Probi

Hi,

I'm looking at building my own PC, just wondering if anyone knows any good websites where I can buy parts?

Thanks

I get most of my parts from www.scan.co.uk

I wouldn't get a HDD at the moment as prices are sky high since the WD factories got flooded out, won't get back to normal until January

I use Ebuyer mainly, but only really out of habit. Prices tend to be roughly the same as Scan.

The ones I remember using are Scan, eBuyer, Amazon, Novatech, Dabs, Overclockers UK and Play. Never had a problem with any of them, so I've no idea how good each company's customer service is...

As above, I have no preference other than price.

I bought my entire self build from CCL Computers, as it happened all of the parts I wanted were cheapest or the same price there, but generally you would mix and match websites to get the best price for what you want.

If you're in London you might want to look at http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/. They're just off Tottenham Court Road and their retail prices are now the same as online. There's also http://www.collegecomputerfair.co.uk/ on Saturdays. I bought most of the components for my current machine from a man called John Lui at the fair's old location. He has a shop in Finchley called Cheetah Computer. He was able to quickly source a specific motherboard for me and his prices were excellent.

Aria is another name to chuck into the mix. CCL have used and still might use CityLink, with CLs parent company being DynoRod it is very apt.

I didn't say it was just WD drives, I said "I wouldn't get a HDD at the moment "
