What would be the best place to buy PC components in the UK by segosa on 08-23-2008 at 12:38 AM

If I were thinking of buying and building a new PC, and buying all the components separately, and I lived in the UK, then what would be the best place to buy the components from? Locally there's only one shop which sells them all at jacked-up prices so I'm definitely not going for that. I would need some trusted supplier which offers some sort of warranty/guarantee on them too. Kind of like newegg but for the UK.

Any recommendations?

Edit: I've been told overclockers.co.uk is good; has anyone had any experience with them?

Overclockers.co.uk are overpriced sometimes but they are fucking easy to get replacements if it fails and I hear they have great support if you need it.

ebuyer, scan and dabs but I don't use them much.

Novatech suck, someone I know bought a motherboard that was faulty and they took aaaaaaages to sort it out.
Edit: infact they still haven't sorted it out about a month after ;/
