You can't buy anything from PCPartsPicker. The website links you to other websites like Amazon to get the parts. So either buy it all from one place like Amazon or separately from wherever it is cheapest.

I personally stick to certain places when buying pc parts. Amazon, Overclockers & Novatech. I just pick whichever one of those has the item i want, and at the cheapest.

 

You can't buy from pcpartpicker btw, it merely links you to retailers that sell the products.

Ohh lol. So pcpartpicker says which is cheaper, right?

Well you supposed to use it more as a guideline as to what you are planning to build and it will give you somewhat accurate prices from retailers. Quite often those prices might be inaccurate due to promotions and deals or simply price changes. This is why you should look around the most popular retailers in your area to make sure you are getting the best deal.

 

EDIT: Also you can filter the prices in PCPartPicker so that you either see the cheapest prices or prices from a given retailer.

I recently had a very pleasant experience with MacMall/PCMall.

 

Two months ago they had a special on MSI Z97 MPower MaxAC motherboards - about $90.00 US, so I ordered one.  It got backordered, and it took about two months to get it and ship it out.

 

The only problem was, when they shipped it they priced it at full retail (about $240 US.)  A couple phone calls later, and after sending them a copy of my original invoice they honored the sale price and credited me the difference back.

 

I've also had positive experiences with B&H and OutletPC.
