Newegg and ebay. Newegg and some other stores sometimes even have offers for ebay only.

Mostly Memory Express, due to their Uber Price Match policy. If they don't carry an item, then I move to NCIX, then Newegg, Canada Computers, or similar online retailer

Newegg, or amazon.

Nice. The best part is that is the specific store where I go (although I also go to the Yonkers store and the Paterson store.)

From the unmarked truck on the other side of town, great deals but sometimes the boxes are a bit bruised.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Newegg. They have had good customer support in the past so I have just stuck with them. Was thing of trying NCIX US next time I buy hardware not available in the LMG store/classifieds section.

Where it happens to be the cheapest as used.

 

Otherwise Jimm's PC Store (definitely not the cheapest, but does it's job)

 

Would gladly start using amazon, but they only accept credit cards...

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

I have a micro center about 30 minutes from were I live. The downside to buying from a local store, is sales tax.

It's not too bad for me. The Paterson, NJ Micro Center only charges 3.5% and when I buy a 4770K and MPOWER from there, it will still only cost $400.

I usually buy my stuff from either Newegg, and use the will call at their hybrid center in California, from Fry's Electronics, and Microcenter, whatever is cheapest. They are all close enough to me that its cheaper to go pick it up than to have it shipped to me.
