Buying parts online is by far the best possible way to guarantee the lowest price, but also can subject you to unwanted headache and stress if the deal doesn’t go right.



Ensure best prices: go to www.pricewatch.com to search for the item in mind, they have just about everything computer related that you could want, and will break down the price for you to include sale price and shipping price (if any) and will list the in ascending order from lowest price to highest.



Ensure best service: go to www.resellerratings.com and look up the retailer you have found and are interested in from pricewatch. Reseller Ratings usually has a great database for online stores, and you can read feedback from consumers who have had good/bad/ugly experiences with the retailer in question.



GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND! If you can’t find the information you need at Overclock.net, google for reviews and specials for the hardware you have in mind.



The three sites mentioned above (with member support from overclock.net) are the most powerful buying combination when it comes to building a great rig, for a great price!

Websites I use.
http://www.tigerdirect.com, for reference. http://www.newegg.com, most variety. http://www.zipzoomfly.com, if they have the product, free shipping on a lot of things. Yahoo or Google search, to see if I can find anything cheaper (always include shipping). http://www.ebay.com, for the cheapest. Make sure they have lots of good feedback.
