I use NewEgg for new stuff and eBay/Craigslist for used. Havent tried Amazon yet, but I'd probably buy there too.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

Komplett.dk / Komplett.no

 

I've ordered for a good $65,000 from there over the past few years and have never had a single problem with them. They are top notch. Free delivery now as well.

I use kijiji or pricematch at memory express

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Majority of my stuff comes from Newegg, but I did get my 4790k through TigerDirect after seeing it was on sale there. When I lived in the city I got a couple things from the local Memory Express.

I used overclock and hardforum classifieds most of the time. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

I purchase mostly from PC Case Gear, Scorptec or recently a nearby store that seems to beat out both online ones in a fair few prices.

Normandy - Intel Core i5 3470, 8 GB Corsair Vengenace LP, EVGA GTX 960 SSC, Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP, WD Blue 1 TB, Seagate 320 GB (steam), Seagate 320 GB (experimental, second OS, etc), Windows 8.1 + Ubuntu 14.10

Garrus - HP Stream 11

Im not loyal to online retailers. I buy from multiple retailers. I just find the best price from retailers I trust and buy from whoever has the best price.

I tried buying at Outlet PC.. They returned my payment because my shipping address is different from billing address.. It took them 1 month to return successfully the money..

 

I'll try NewEgg next for 860K

Why no multiple options? I shop mostly from newegg for deals on current stuff, amazon for all the accessories or older products, and tigerdirect is another one I like as sometimes they too have some good deals.

Newegg doesn't have shipping center to my country (India) so Amazon.in rocks

Newegg, but I may change that because of their sketchy practices.

 

Sent me some RAM in an envelope, then when I try to return the RAM because it's throwing off errors and giving my computer boot problems, they want to charge me a restocking fee.....

 

they want to restock....a broken pair of ram. Yeah I'm not gonna use Newegg anymore.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
