Unfortunately, there really isn't any actual stores that specialise in PC parts in the UK, or I've not found one anyway. PC World does have RAM and GPU's such as 7770's. In my local store anyway.

 

The market for the bits you're looking for is online really.

I only use Aria if Scan doesn't have them in stock which is quite rare

I would also recommend scan but sometimes you can find things cheaper on overclockers.co.uk or Aria

The Maplin near me is awful, the staff know nothing about computers and all their prices are way too high.

 

Overclockers UK, Scan, Ebuyer, Dabs and Amazon are the places I buy from.

Different places i guess. My local maplin were very good. Agree with prices but that's always the case with retail vs etail.

eBuyer and Scan all the way for PC parts. Scan especially, cannot recommend them enough! :D

 

Overclockers for the more obscure stuff and bitfenix stuff.

 

Maplins rarely for tools and electronic parts. They are usually more expensive for PC stuff, limited and not worth it imo.
