I have used Jimm's and Verkkokauppa.com mostly for bigger items. For monitor I used local electronics seller (Markantalo) because of free shipping. When buying something small and cheep it's either Jimm's or Tietokonekauppa.fi because of free shipping or pickup from store. For my new components I'll be using Mindfactory.de. It has around 20-30€ cheaper prices than in Finland plus reasonably shipping cost.

Newegg and Amazon mostly, Amazon because of my Prime membership for fast shipping and Newegg because of the free shipping on most parts.

Mostly at Newegg but I will buy it at Microcenter if they have a better deal, which most of the time they do.
I get some things from microcenter since I'm about 1.5 hrs round trip to one of their local stores... They had the 3570k for just $169 during the Christmas holidays (local pickup only) and an additional $60 off if bundled with a motherboard purchase. So I got that CPU and a nice asrock mobo that was on sale for a steal. But usually I'll buy via newegg especially if they have free shipping because I hate driving.

I'm going to begin supporting ncix though.

I got my gear for my build from Computer Lounge. In New Zealand there arent too many options that are local and these guys had the most professional website and I hadnt read anything bad about them. I didnt do much research on my gear so some things are "bad" decisions. But they called me to make sure I was sure I wanted to go ahead with it.

Ive got a H100 on a 3570K using a P9H77 motherboard. They were like you wont be able to overclock with this motherboard and if you're not going to over clock there isnt much point to getting an H100. Which in terms on money is a really good point. So they called me to let me know what my options were and I had actually selected a 2500K back then because they didnt have the 3570K listed, but they just said they would upgrade me to the 3570K for like 30 buks more.

Definatley recommend getting your gear from them, especially if its your first build. They seem like they know what they are talking about and its very re-asuring to have someone call and double check any decisions you might have made that dont really make too much sense to a professional.

Ncix, maybe a local store like futureshop that's a 5 minute drive vs a 45 to the nearest NCIX assuming have the item available for price match. But 98% of the time it's Ncix, they're international now as well!!!

Whoever has the best deals

I'd prefer to order from NCIX all the time because it's so close, but often Newegg has better deals, too bad I have to get it shipped to my Washington post box and drive all the way down
