Not a huge deal at all but I compared Amazon's prices against PC Part Picker and if I go with PC part picker I would have to spend around $200 extra.

 

What PC building websites do you use? Or do you find the cheapest part on any website?

PC part picker lists amazon prices along with other etailers, you can pick which one you want to buy from when you build your rig on their site.

Wait wut? PCpartpicker now builds computers also?

I don't get it..PCpartpicker lets you choose parts from different retailers and the total cost is well, all the costs of the items when added up..?

Selling my parts of my 900D rig for a jacked up Ncase M1. PM me for offers if interested (will take some reasonable-low offers because I'm desperate).

Parts that I'm selling: 900D (1 slot cover broken for stealth DVD drive mod) | Asus Z87 Deluxe | Cooler Master 212 Evo | Corsair 4x2GB black ram @1600mhz | EVGA 1000G2 PSU (2 cables with missing heat shrink) | DVD drive | HP membrane keyboard | Ducky Shine 3 YOTS in blue switches (warranty sticker broken)

The comparison only works if you compare the same exact parts for pricing. PC Part Picker is not a seller, it just gathers prices to allow you to get the lowest cost necessary, and as said, it includes amazon. If you came out cheaper on amazon, then you either Choose different parts, or missed a rebate on the other sites that made it cheaper. Like if a part is $100 at newegg with a $20 rebate, and it is $90 at amazon, the newegg part will appear cheaper.

 

As for myself, I buy from newegg. Simple reason being they generally get the parts shipped faster to me than amazon does.
