Mesh Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I'm planning on building a PC my high school kids and wondered where's the best place to get all the parts....my last build I got everything from NewEgg (13 years ago). Is there a better place get all the parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutrageProductions Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Amazon can source nearly everything, especially when NewEgg is out of stock or subbing out sources. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 If you're lucking enough to be by a Microcenter that would be a good place to go IMHO 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InstrEd Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Start early in the morning and make it an adventure. Find a restaurant to have lunch/dinner on the way back. Always time for some great pie 😋 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane_B. Posted Saturday at 08:56 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:56 PM I'm in the process of building a new PC. Everything has gone up in price in the span of the last 2 weeks. To buy everything for one PC I'm going to have to get the various parts from Newegg, Amazon, and Best Buy. eBay is a cheaper option, but the return process is horrible if you get a defective item. The system I was going to build went up from $1130 to $1380 in just over two weeks. I had everything in my cart on Amazon for a while, all in stock. When I went to order everything this week the mobo, M.2 drive, and ram were out of stock from Amazon. My options were "Used like new" or to buy from independent sellers who are price gouging and have terrible return policies if something is received bad. I'll wait to see what happens. My current CPU doesn't support Windows 11, so I have till October when they stop support for Windows 10. I'm building the system I always wanted and don't want to settle for something less, but I can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing you have to research is, some of the cooling fans for cpu's are so large now, they won't fit in every case. The fan for the build I'm doing now is so large that I was only able to find one case it would fit in. The other requirement was I had to have a 5.25" bay to put a Blueray/CD player/burner in and they are very rare now. There was only 1 case that was wide enough that had a 5.25" bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure yet....Possibly when I go to Microcenter, I'll see if there are some good deals there. So far, I only got the Thermaltake Case (the one above).
