Recommended online PC component shops

I'm in the process of buying PC components to build a PC. What online shops would you recommend for service, delivery and price.

I've used Ebuyer before and have never had any problems.

Thanks in advance.

    I like http://www.scan.co.uk/

    The guys at Scan now what they are talking about and will give you good advice. They aren't the cheapest but they do offer a huge range od components.

    I used to use overclockers quite a bit, they were always quite fast but I mostly use scan now, especially if you can get free postage then you'll find the prices are quite competitive.

    aria - dabs - scan, I have also used novatech, who have been fine, but they are also within a hrs drive from me so if there was an issue I could sort it out relatively quickly.

    Why not continue buying from them then? G

    I've used, scan, novatech and ebuyer. I've also used Komplett a lot and Dabs occassionally.

    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Because I'm spending £500-600 and want the best deal. I've only ever bought the odd monitor, hhd etc. from Ebuyer before and want to make sure I'm purchasing it from the best place.

    There's always the posibility that things will go wrong when building from scratch, so I'm not just looking for the cheapest on Kelkoo; I'd rather get recommendations first.
