What is your favorite place to buy PC Parts?

[storp]

I've used NewEgg quite a bit, followed by BestBuy, Tiger Direct and Microcenter.

Which is you favorite in terms of selection, price, and getting you what they claim to and on time?

I like tiger direct for big things, like tvs. But for all parts, I'm kind of a newegg snob. The only thing that I didnt like, was when I bought my most recent item, my motherboard, because i had just fried the old one. (overclocked it too much, Burned through the motherboard) but anyway, they had shipped it through ground fed ex. And i dont know if someone didnt get the memo that it was over night shipping, but a week and a half later I got it. I had called new egg and they apologized and sent me a free 500GB external HD. But to be honest... I have never heard of Microcenter...

Microcenter - deals depending, like always, on what you happen to be after. http://www.microcenter.com/

I started steering away from Tiger Direct once I saw their prices rise above Newegg, some time back.

May or may not be true right now.

I just wish that we had just a computer parts store around me in the Central Maine area.

For the past year or two, it seems that I get my best deals by shopping and comparing on Newegg but actually buying what I want from Amazon or B&H Photo. It's kinda hard to beat lowest prices, free shipping and hassle-free RMAs.

I used to be a big Newegg fan, but then realized I could get some items cheaper (and with free 2-day Prime shipping) from Amazon. So I check between both sites.

With my last purchase, I bought my motherboard and CPU from Newegg, and the CPU cooler and RAM from Amazon.

Probably more Amazon/MicroCenter these days.

I used to be pretty set on Newegg but they've slipped a lot/gone downhill over the years.

Definitely this. Their website used to be nice and fast and these days it's VERY slow. And they have a lot of third party sellers these days.

BT Shop or Novatech if buying whole builds or lots of parts at once - Amazon for the odd single part here and there.

Overclockers or Dabs is my choice,I avoid Amazon as their delivery's have always taken forever to get to me.

Another poll...

NewEgg, Amazon for new stuff.

XS and OCN FS threads for used stuff.
