What stores that are actually physical, walk-in, with cash register stores sell computer parts?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Microcenter dominates in Boston Massachusetts

“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

- Cave Johnson, founder and CEO of Aperture Science, in Portal 2

You really need to go visit. My first trip to my Microcenter about 3 years ago, I spent like 3 hours walking around in it and staring at computer parts.

When I was looking, I used this search and check their websites to see if they offer what you want. BB will have VERY limited selection (not even case fans or cases in mine). I ended up finding a nice little shop on the other side of town, but if you want to walk into a place you have to do just that. Find the address and walk in.
