Newegg an Amazon, I would look at NCIX but to be honest the layout of it really discouraged me to buy from there.

Yeah, I know where your coming from, I don't really like the layout either. But, there's something about newegg that makes it so good. Probably just the layout lol

I plan on buying from Amazon because if anything goes wrong they're really good about it.

I just go with whoever is cheapest. In terms of how many times I've ordered from them, Scan and eBuyer are my two most used. I have a Novatech store near me that I've been meaning to visit though.

NCIX is worldwide

Noo - they only may ship worldwide. Shipping it to Europe is worse than buying it in Europe.

 

 

I buy from internet shop here in Poland and Allegro (kind of Ebay here).

I get stuff from PCcasegear because I'm in aus, although there is some water cooling stuff that I need and PCCG don't have it so I will to Gammod for that. Even if NCIX shipping did not cost an arm and a leg for me I would not buy from that site because their site is a fu****g train wreck and I refuse to use a web store that is crap if there are better ones available.

Desktop -  i5 4670k, GTX 770, Maximums VI Hero, 2X Kingston Hyper X 3k in raid zero.

Laptop - Lenovo X230 Intel 535 480GB, 16GB Gskill memory, Classic Keyboard Mod, Triple USB 3.0 Express Card.

I wish there was a Microcenter nearby. Closest one is like 500 miles away...

 

Anyways, I get mine from Newegg and Amazon. Got my monitor from NCIX.

I mainly buy from NCIX though I compare NCIX to other competitors. Generally, I find NCIX has better deals in my area, also can go pickup at a local NCIX only 5-10min drive :P . Though sometimes I can find a deal like when Bestbuy had a special offering where I could pricematch a i7 3770k and get 25$ off..so cost me like 275$ for an i7 3770k before tax lol..this was when 3rd gen was current....thats pretty good deal where I live..ive not seen anybetter deal since then.
