O.P. What would be the best place to buy PC components in the UK
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?

The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

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 ;/
