De$t!ny · Post by **De$t!ny** » November 6th, 2005, 1:35 pm

1 of my pc's has been dodgy for a long time and its pretty much busted now, so i need to buy some parts for a new pc. some sites i use already are:

ebuyer.com
overclockers.co.uk
savastore.com

but in a pc mag i bought, they found prices for main components cheaper than those sites so just wondering if u guys know n e other cheap sites (for UK) which are reliable, thanks

I would have suggested overclockers.co.uk - my brother used them for most/all of his parts when he was building his computer last year. Other than that I can't really help you. I'll ask him of any others perhaps.

Local PC Fairs. I'm not sure where you live so, I'll suggest it anyway. Local PC Fairs are basically where a whole group of unknown retailers (usually online) come in a big hall to sell at lower prices

Â£130 = 6600GT (Gigabyte)
That was the last time I checked it, so by now probably a little cheaper.

Don't forget ebay, i've saved hundreds using it. I'm getting a brand new geforce 7800GT from a US seller for Â£180, and I don't get many problems with ebay, but i've had lots of trouble with ebuyer, loads of faulty stuff. You just have to be more careful on ebay, checking feedback, returns policy ect. Its safer to pay by paypal too, if you're verified you have better protection.

Yeh, i've told Destiny many times

http://www.overclockers.co.uk is the best imo. Ordered every single part of my comp from there, all arrived next day, and all worked fine
