I've just moved to France from New Zealand and against my better judgement I've decided to try and build a sff PC for my new apartment. Aside from the French versions of Amazon and Newegg, as well as leboncoin for second had stuff, are there any other good online sources for PC components? Do physical stores tend to be a lot more expensive than online or not too bad when you factor in shipping?

 

I like in Bordeaux now and I'm in the midst of doing my own research but and tips and suggestions from any of you that live in this part of the world would be great. I'll also be travelling around Europe on various vacations, is there a lot of variation in price across the different countries, and any in particular that would make sourcing parts cheaper than France?

 

Merci à tous!

Amazon will ship, maybe alternate.nl or .be check geizhals.eu to find best priced components within Europe and they show too if they ship to your country
