Possible retailers

[NE Soldier]

I'm looking to build myself a gaming rig, was just wondering if any of you guys can rattle off some names of retailers and how your experience was with them? Much appreciated

What country are you in...?

I'm in UK

Aria are great.
OverclockersUK have a huge selection - but their postage charges are a little expensive.
Scan also have a great choice, but their RMAs can sometimes be very poor, so I wouldn't recommend buying a motherboard from there, or anything else that has a high chance of going wrong, or anything that you could get elsewhere.
eBuyer are good - but they don't have the best selection of non-mainstream parts anymore.
CCL are good too. Don't have a huge selection, but they're still a good company.

Never heard of them...

I'd probably stick to the ones mentioned above.

i use scan a lot. i find that they tend to be the cheaper retailer with very good fast shipping. also i had to rma my msi 6970 as it had over heating problems and they were very helpful with that. when i was putting my build together i needed a bios update to be able to use 8150 in the sabertooth 990fx and they did that for me for only £10 extra

For things like fans and peripherals like keyboards and mice I've always used amazon.

For actual components, scan and specialtech have been good but never used aria (yet)

I tend to use Scan and Aria quite often.

Scan.co.uk
Aria.co.uk
Overclockers.co.uk
Ebuyer.com

All of these are good retailers. Personally i prefer Scan and Aria

Nice one guys, thanks for the info

Don't be forgetting Amazon, either - they have some great deals on occasion, and their return policy is second to none.
