Best place to buy from?

[delirium]

I've been looking into buying a new rig for awhile and I was wondering where would be the best place to buy a custom rig from?

 

ATM Im leaning towards Digital Storm.

 

And no, im not going to just buy the parts and put it together.

Honestly Yeah, if you want your computer built for you, Digital Storm has some of the best support and variety of hardware, I'd go for them.

 

 

Or, you could just build.... lol, jk

Newegg for parts. SVC for accessories, fans, and heatsinks. Jonnyguru for PSU reviews if you're going to do the extremely unwise thing and pick a powersupply not made by Corsair, Seasonic, or PC Power and Cooling. Anandtech for reviews of everything else.

pcusa.com is pretty good, thats where my friend built his

PCusa.com has no reselleratings, tigerdirect has a 7.30 lifetime rating and no awards.

 

Newegg, on the other hand, has a 9.77 lifetime rating and has NEVER been rated below 8.0 for long enough to disqualify them from holding an Elite award. And that's with nearly 30,000 reviews over their lifetime.

quick question, what do you think about silverstone power supplies??

[Shadowex3]

the Element series is making a very poor showing of itself so far. First we had the ripple issues on the ST70EF, and now we have a SevenTeam built unit that can't take any heat, pushes ATX ripple specs itself, and can't meet its own 80 Plus Bronze rating.

 

I keep posting links to Jonnyguru for a reason. He actually tests these things. We're talking full empirical testing of all aspects of a power supply even down to how much ripple it's got on it. You don't need to read the whole thing if you don't want to, just skip to the last page and read his summaries or even just look for the "JG recommended" graphic.

I've used newegg but I've gotten a few parts from ebay before so it depends.\

Generally ram is hard to find cheap but I've found ram to be most cheap at newegg.
