NCIX and Memory Express to price beat NCIX.

Samesies. Only because we don't have NCIX storefronts in Alberta.... (hopefully soon?). In the rare occasion I will order from the egg if what I want isn't available at NCIX or MemEx

i5 2500k, MSI Z77 Mpower, 4x4 GB Musking Enhanced Blackline. MSI N560GTX-Ti Hawk(temporary), Samsung 830 128, Silverstone Strider Gold Evolution 750w

Here in the UK I use Ebuyer/Amazon/Overclockers. They all offer different prices for different products so it helps me financially. :)

Scan or Ebuyer or Aria or Dabs - whichever has the best price/deals on.

I buy from Newegg because their support is amazing and there is a warehouse in my home state which makes shipping extremely quick. I've ordered from Amazon as well but it's not as populated with the type of information that Newegg provides. TigerDirect is just as great as well from what I've heard but I've never ordered from them nor have I ordered from NCIX.

I buy from Amazon since I have bought a Prime membership (free 2 day shipping :D). I don't order from Newegg because I live in Tennessee and they charge a lot of tax just for items. So buying off of Amazon has no tax, and faster shipping for free! (In my situation at least)

I use to only use Newegg but since NCIX came to US I've been using them more lately.

I had too many bad experiences with Amazon to use them for anything.

Its Ebay, Amazon, or Newegg for me. I live in the states east coast so shipping costs are not all that great from NCIX. If I lived on the west coast, it would be a different story. :)

For me so far its been:

Newegg.ca - Good deals, always great service.

Amazon.ca - Sometimes has better prices but not always. I bought a GPU from there once.

Memoryexpress.com - Generally my first choice mostly because they are based in Calgary and I can get easy service from them :) and they have generally good prices. Got the bulk of my last build from them.

I haven't yet found anything I've wanted to buy from NCIX but will probably buy something soon :).

I buy from NCIX, Canada Computers, Newegg, or Tiger Direct. Rarely I go to eBay or Amazon.

NCIX tends to have the best selection, while Newegg.ca usually has the best prices. Canada Computers and Tiger direct have decent sales once in a while.

Newegg and Tiger Direct both have easy to navigate websites, while Canada Computers and NCIX really need to improve theirs; the way it's layed out with them is terrible.

NCIX also once sold me a monitor and gave me a tracking number, and it was not until, a month later, when I called the shipping company to ask what had happened that NCIX notified me that the monitor was discontinued and cancelled the sale.

So, I mostly go with Newegg. I also have a Canada Computers within walking distance, so I buy from there too.

Primarily Newegg, and when I buy in retail store it's from Fry's Electronics. I've bought from TigerDirect/NCIX in the past also (though I buy tons more from Newegg).

Amazon - Student Prime ftw. I try not to buy stuff from Newegg since I have to pay taxes. I have never bought stuff from NCIX, but I probably will in the near future. If I can find it at Best Buy, I buy it there.

I bought all of my new hardware from PC Case Gear. They were prompt with their shipping and nothing has arrived broken. I recommend them (if you live in Australia).
